I miss him so much....

Rambo crossed the Rainbow Bridge this past Tuesday. It was by far one of the five worst days of my life. Totally agonizing. I’ve cried more in the past week than in my whole life combined. My father’s death in 1975 wasn’t THIS bad. It hurt, God, did it hurt. The worst was when the vet picked...

Hi and thanks for the time you’re giving me. I will definitely try the tuna, but he seems to know his food has been diluted....I’ve tried it by adding a little water to canned foot, but the look he gives me plainly asks what kind of fool do I think he is. I’m going to try putting a can of...

I don’t know how Rambo got FeLV but I’ll give the vet a call to find out. I’ve read that the tumors usually start at an injection site. He was diagnosed as having it in August 2018. We’ve had the consultation you referred to....he gave Rambo three months to live. No need to be suspicious....the...

He definitely has FeLV and the vet told me that most cats with it makes them more susceptible to the the virus. I don’t know how or where Rambo contracted it; he was an inside-outside cat till he had the first tumor excised. He doesn’t seem uncomfortable, though he’s not eating as much. He’s...

The vet didn’t instruct me to stop the canned food, that was my choice. Neither cat actually ate the canned food, they just licked the sauce out. I give Rambo lickey treats three times a week and he drinks plenty of water. I don’t have any idea as to how he came to have FeLV....I got him at...

My Rambo, a 7-year-old Russian Blue, was finally diagnosed as having FeLV by an awesome vet, whom I went to when the local vets couldn’t determine what was wrong with him. This vet knew right off what was wrong by the description of his symptoms. He sent us home with a bag of Science Diet and I...

Rambo is doing well under the circumstances, but his behavior is undergoing some changes. Of course there's his litter habits....I just don't understand why he can pee in the litter box, but poops on the floor outside of it. He squats for both, which seems to rule out pain as the cause. I use...

I'm a tad confused....not quite understanding what is meant by "but the test he did told you how Sissy was six-seven months ago, not how she is now. You will know in a few months, with a further test, if Sissy has got FeLV". What happens in the interim of a few months? And how does the test...

Thanks so much to everyone for your help.....the responses are overwhelming! I apologize for the elapsed time between my initial post and now.....it's been somewhat hectic lately! But finally I can give an update. I took Rambo to another vet and in ten minutes I had my answer.....Rambo has...

My Rambo is a five-year-old male Russian Blue whom I adopted when he was 7-9 weeks old. He was neutered shortly after adoption and has always been current with his shots. Some time back he developed extremely noisy, explosive loose stools that spewed on the walls next to the litter box. His...
