[Felvtalk] Felvtalk Digest, Vol 22, Issue 3

[Sabrina Doyle]

Raven update

Vet gave her an antibiotic and Rimadyl/Caprofen injection. Tried to convince me she could have eaten a pin or something and might be an abscess but wasn't sure. So waiting to see if antibiotic works but am certain finding a vet here with much experience with Felv is going to be hard.
