[Felvtalk] Harley is in the hospital

[Marsha]

Do you mean lymphoma?  Lymphocytes where it starts can be most anywhere 
in the body, so there can be different symptoms.  I have had 3 cats that 
had lymphoma.  1 was FeLV+, the other 2 were negative.  I even had the 
negative ones tested for FeLV after they were diagnosed with lymphoma, 
just because it is such a common outcome among FeLV+ cats.
