[Felvtalk] different types of Felv

[Amani Oakley]

Ardy - I do think that what Tigger had was similar to Zander's but I am wondering if maybe the blasts we saw and some of the unusual aspects may be the result of another strain. But my guess is that we should have started sooner and at a higher dose of Winstrol, rather than the answer being another strain. With Zander, he had gotten blood transfusions which probably buoyed his haematology results and allowed the Winstrol more time to pull up his red cells, etc.

Amani - would you agree that Tigger's was the same type that Zander had also then? And I feel that the Winstrol was working for Tigger's bone marrow also
- it just did not have enough time, in other words if I had gotten the Winstrol into him a few months earlier, we likely would have seen more long term improvement.

That's interesting information. That also means that what my little Zander had would have been the FeLV C form because his bone marrow was completely shut down AND the Winstrol regimen worked on what, according to the vet, is the most lethal form.

To answer your question, he said that the full blown symptoms determine the type of Felv. Meaning that bone murrow consumption is a typical sign of Felv C. The strains were identified in Vitro BUT there is no way to differentiate them through a test. I don't know what to say. I don't trust vets because they don't care enough.

Is it true? I think people on this forum know more than many vets.
