[Felvtalk] Lymph nodes

[Amani Oakley]

Maya, I don’t think it is cancer. My guess would be that he is reacting to some infection. As others have said, it isn’t necessarily FeLV – it could be another infectious agent, but it is consistent with what you often see with FeLV.

Did you ever get him on the Winstrol?

Yeah, the vet agreed, also mentioned it could be cancer.

His temperature is good, and his WBC count has rebounded a bit, but hes RBC count has gone slightly anemic now. He's still acting relatively normal, more drowsy than when he was healthy, and less of an appetite, but he is still eating on his own. It's so hard to watch, I'm just desperately hoping his body fights back, but either way we will keep him comfortable and happy as long as possible.

Not a good sign at all. Again, consistent with active FeLV.

If they are really large, I would have them checked just for my own peace of mind
