I see those of us with FeLV cats as being their biggest advocates. Whenever possible, we should help to educate others and dispel the myths surrounding them to help give them a chance at life.

Roxanne.... 
Perhaps I missed something along the way... another email perhaps?? I'm not sure if I understand your question... Why would you have concerns about letting people know you have FeLV cats....and moreover why would you feel somehow badly that you are NOT embarassed..... I've never noted any discrimination on the part of other cat owners against people with FeLV cats.... The question took me so offguard that I feel I MUST have missed something along the way ( eg... you run a pet care business or something similiar ?? Apart from anything like that I don't see the downside ( even potentially) of letting people know that you are kind enough to look after animals that have special needs...

I?ve experienced nose issues in two cats, but in both, the problems were serious (one cancerous and one some sort of abscess which eventually impinged on the brain, causing a coma). Sounds like yours isn?t serious, which is a good thing. But, yeah, I?ve had to deal with blood all over the place as well.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Nasal polyp 

Anyone here ever dealt with a nasal polyp? 

My 15 yo FeLV cat started having a chronic bloody nose (in one nostril only) about 6 weeks ago. We did a shot of Convenia, then tried 2 weeks of azithromycin antibiotics. Didn't help. 

I took him in for a follow up yesterday and upon closer inspection we discovered a polyp visible just on the inside of his nostril. It was too small to remove with tweezers, so the vet prescribed another round of azithromycin to kep infection at bay, and suggested we wait a month or 3 for it to grow bigger so we can remove it. 

I'm just glad it's not cancerous, but the poor guy has sneezing fits daily, wakes up with dried blood crusted around his nostril each morning, and I'm wiping bloody specks off my floors and walls (from the sneezes. Looks like a mini crime scene in my house :-P) 

Curious if anyone else has had to help cats with nose polyps. 

Thanks, 
Katherine

I just had a slight cold issue and it seemed Annie always got in my face when she sneezed. I took her to the vet first day since she is positive (age 8 going on 9) and felv issues usually start with upper respiratory. She got a shot and I brought home some antibiotics to give her. She seems to be getting better. I have been sofortunate with her that this is her only illnes.

Are you all new members? I never get your emails except in "trash". How do I get these people coming to my inbox? I know I must have missed a few emails because of this.

I need some opinions I currently have one feline leukemia cat and someone as of now is going to give me there leukemia cat. they changed their mind for about 3 weeks now. My question is for two years I've not told anyone that I have had and have a cat with feline leukemia I don't want people to judge me. But I feel bad cuz I'm not embarrassed to own a feline leukemia cats. My current cat is now two years past his diagnosis. Do I share with my friends and then Facebook or do I maintain keeping the secret
