What wonderful news. Keep up the good work, and the loads of love and kisses to Brock. 

Hopefully, as well, your vet is one who will get the message that some of us want to fight for our FeLV+ kitties.

We just came back from FeLV+ Brock's cardiology appointment.  He was diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy and CHF 9 months ago, with an average survival time being 2-6 months.  I was expecting that fluid would be drawn off, because it's been 2.5 months since last time, and
1.5 months ago, an X-ray showed fluid was starting to build up.  Not only did Brock have NO pleural effusion (what was there 1.5 months ago was GONE), but, the dilated ventricle/atrium had returned to a normal size!!  And his blood pressure is ideal at 128!  He still has a murmur, and thickened heart walls, but close enough for me to call it a miracle!  His Lasix is being reduced from 3x a day to 2x a day.  Checkup in 4 months unless he develops respiratory issues (increased rate or effort).
