I am currently 'fostering' (i.e. hospice, considering the circumstances...) a wonderful, adorable, tiny child baby bumpkin kitten who has feline leukemia. It was discovered that he had FeLV when he was a few weeks old. He sat at the clinic for a few weeks before I moved into an apartment and decided I was going to take him. So far his only obvious issues are swollen lymph nodes, a persistent but mostly benign URI (upper respiratory infection, was treated with both azithro and clavamox, neither worked), and diarrhea (that I am currently treating with pumpkin). Unfortunately, these are all signs that he is sick and probably won't get better, just eventually worse. They don't affect his activity levels or personality at all, so at least he's happy for now Let's talk about feline leukemia and other sad animal things because I'm whiny tonight. I've read up on plenty regarding the disease, but feel free to share what you know, regardless. Also, have some pictures: Cuddling in my lap Beating up the dogs Not beating up the dogs Playing with dog toys His name is Atex, so named for a 'father and son' trash company that exists in Texas because he was found in a dumpster behind a Circle K and it came up when I googled 'trash service companies' lmao
