Awww, Kat. I am new to this list also, and I also have a FeLV+ boy
named Harley! He probably close to 4 years old (I got him as a
kitten in the Fall of 2010). He is also black, with a little white
spot on his chest, and his belly. <br>
<br>
His buddy Milkdud is in the hospital now, after being symptom-free
for 4 and a half years. I felt a lump early this week, then before
his vet appointment he seemed to be getting tired and not interested
in food, though he played a little with a catnip toy. At the vet's
office we saw he was jaundiced, and I transferred him to the
emergency clinic. An ultrasound revealed more than one mass
(including in the spleen), and several enlarged lymph nodes. Plus
his kidneys and liver don't look too great either (on the
ultrasound). Lymphoma highly likely. I declined the needle
aspiration for confirmation. Milkdud is greatly annoyed with his
cramped accommodations at the hospital. They have also been swamped
this weekend, so he can't get a bigger cage, and this afternoon we
couldn't have a room to visit together so he can move around. He
has more energy than some of the other cats I see there. I don't
think Milkdud is long for this world...a week or two? I will
probably take him home Monday to enjoy as much cuddle time as
possible before the time comes. Is it too late for LTCI? Does that
help with lymphoma? My local vet and one I asked at the emergency
clinic didn't seem to familiar, except one told me it is still
experimental.<br>
<br>
Harley is feeling very anxious about Milkdud being gone, so I am
trying to give him some extra attention. <br>
