<DIV id=yui_3_16_0_1_1435283073392_320302 dir=ltr>I have used LTCI and I live in
Hamilton, Ontario. My cat was IFA positive for FeLV (meaning persistently
infected as the virus was in bone marrow) and he went negative a few months
after starting the LTCI, so in my opinion, it is definitely worth a shot for
your little Oreo. Your vet can call Terry Beardsley at LTCI and he will
help explain the paper work. Should only take a week for Health Canada to
make an exception. Otherwise LTCI can be shipped to a vet in the states
virtually overnight. Hope this helps and best of luck with your little
guy. just curious, where in Canada are you from?</DIV>

<DIV
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: #000000">Hi,
I am looking for advice about our little Oreo. We adopted him at 9 weeks from a
rescue group. His mom was a stray who was ill when she had her kittens. The
kittens were eventually bottle fed and had a rough start in life, but then
seemed to recover and were adopted out. About two weeks ago, our Oreo started to
show signs of illness. His inner third eyelid came out, and then he started
running a fever. I took him to the Rescue's vet, and she gave me antibiotics and
some metacam to bring down the fever. She said the mom had been tested for a
bunch of viruses, including feline leukemia and came back negative, so there was
no reason to test Oreo. A week later, he was worse so I took him to another vet
and she tested him and told me he tested positive for feline leukemia. Up until
yesterday, he seemed to still have a fairly good appetite but was sleeping a lot
and showing symptoms of upper respiratory infection. Today he is uninterested in
food and seems much worse. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions that
would help, or should I just accept that there's nothing that can be done? We
were considering trying the LCTI drug but we live in Canada so we would have to
travel into the States to get it. It would be about a 3.5 hour drive there and
would be hard on Oreo, as he hates the car. Has anyone used LCTI and had any
success with it? Is there anything else I can do for Oreo now, to help him feel
better, like steroids? Any suggestions or advice would be very much
appreciated.

<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
