Mine was given antibiotics (doxycycline) and strong liver supplements (which help if they have jaundice but mine didn't, liver levels were normal). Are the vets familiar with FeLV? Can they work out a plan and do they have the PCR test at the same clinic you went to? How is his appetite?

Update: They did touch the food overnight so I'm relieved. The stool looks more normal (tried pressing down and it isn't too soft but lesser volume due to lesser food intake) this morning but will keep my eyes peeled for changes. Still actively playing as well. Not sure why but vet clinics here...

Hope you and your kitty take it easy. That is a lot of medications. My vet and I have been going round in circles for a diagnosis because my Tabby initially tested negative on the SNAP test but positive on PCR about 4 weeks later. Even went through various possibilities: mycoplasma haemofelis...

My My 11-month-old Tabby had been warded for about 4 days and ate minimally at the clinic as well. Similar situation, his fever hovered on the higher range and didn't break. He had a bad lung infection in October which cleared after 3 weeks. Then on and off fever early January and onwards on...

I had to choose euthanasia for my FeLV positive male kitten two weeks ago. The surviving kittens have been doing well. Their stool have been normal until it started getting smellier than usual. At this point, their appetite and pee - no problems whatsoever. Then one day, I thought giving some...

Thanks for the comments and various input about dry/wet food. Have chosen Brit Care Kitten for the time being (36% dehydrated turkey, 20% fresh chicken meat and poultry fat as the first 3 ingredients, the other 2 main ingredients are chickpeas (12%) and yellow peas (8%). I do alternate one wet...

Hi all, many of the dry cat food recommendations are limited to products in the States and as someone from Southeast Asia, it's a little trickier. The "top-tier" brands here are Taste of the Wild, Acana, Orijen, Royal Canin etc. - however, I have my reservations due to the addition of peas...

The procedure is done and I'm so thankful that everything went easily for him. A thank you to everyone who chimed in on the thread, really appreciate it.

The staff at the clinic reached out to confirm that they only do the procedure at the clinic, which I agreed to but didn't hear back from them until past their closing time - which they were checking in with me again to confirm that I want to go ahead with it. Part of me (and my family) are a...

While I am at peace with my decision, I wonder if my cat noticed it and perked up a bit? Does it seem like that's possible when it comes to such situations? I would also discuss it with my vet (considering the latest blood test, etc) before going through the procedure unless the situation takes...

Thank you for thinking of me. All of them are completely vaccinated except for non-core vaccines (FeLV, rabies). Will remember to look up the protocol for FeLV-exposed cats (when best to test, consider FeLV vaccination and etc.). I believe he is ready, however, our primary vet is closed on...

Hi and thank you so much for the detailed post. My male kitten (just turned 11 months) was tested positive with the IDEXX Combo Snap test yesterday at the city vet (despite initially testing negative at the primary vet's clinic a month ago.) We have been trying to find the cause for his high...

With the vomiting from last night, I backed off to avoid stressing him (particularly about food & drink) and also I have been crying my eyes out. He ate about 4 or 5 times today and at least had his antibiotics so no fever. Mostly resting (lethargic) for the entire day, gums are pale/white...

He just vomited an hour ago, contents were food from a few hours before. He hasn't puked at any time before this which has me quite worried.

We just got back from the vet in the city, couldn't get a good read of the reticulocytes probably from the blood being quite diluted. He also tested positive for FeLV, negative for FIV. Quite devastated considering his blood results (RBC, HGB and HCT are 3.31 (normally 5 ~ 10), 5.1 (8.0 ~ 17)...

His body temp was as high as 40.1C this morning (measured at home, didn't complete as he squirmed out of it) and left a word with our vet. They realised he needs the antibiotics as my cat hasn't eaten nor sipped any water (only ate twice in the morning, had trouble syringe-feeding water as...

Oh no, absolutely not. I'm not blaming the vet and I don't have a problem with the antibiotics. I'm referring to the lack of clarity in our communication - my own exhaustion with feeding every hour from early mornings to late nights also played a part in it, because they basically said it's...

He had longer periods of lucidity + activity today, ate a bit more heartily though he didn't manage to finish the new can plus generous hydration with glucose + water. From the vibe I got when updating our primary vet, I suppose they want to see how my cat would be like when without...

Thanks, I have and from more recent research, it's said that the most efficient way of transmission is via bites (not play bites). Sharing food and drink in a stable multi-cat environment isn't likely for FIV transmission. Not sure what to think, to be honest. I also don't know how to best...

It's night/evening now and checked his body temp, which remained the same at 39.7C though he had felt a little less warm to the touch and had been exploring (lucid) earlier today. Edit: Also noticed his third eyelid showing for a short time now. It comes and goes, however. Not sure what would...
