what are the symtoms of feline luekemia?

Answer 1

That is the problem with the disease. Sometimes there are no signs or symptoms, other times there are vague symptoms like bad coat, or a little lethargic. Then there can be very obvious signs, like not eating,diarrhea,trouble breathing. Sometimes there may only be inflamed gums.
There are no sure fire signs that you can look at and say the cat has FeLV. That is why you get the cat tested.
I am a ver tech at a cat shelter and we see a lot of cats that test positive that look great. You would never expect them to have it. Then there are the cats that look like crap and have tons of signs and test negative!!!! It is a difficult disease. Some cats test positive and live quite a long life. I have one that was tested positive in kittenhood and is now 8. She can spread it ot other cats and may die from it, but has not been sick at all yet. But she could infect another cat and that cat could die rather quickly.
Some adult cats will have immunity to it and will not contract it even if there is prolonged exposure.
If you think your cat may have it, get the cat tested!!!!!!!!

I think the one before me is thinking more of FIV. That is spread more often by intact males that fight. FeLV is most commonly spread by mother cats to their kittens. It can be spread by saliva and other body fluids and therefore can spread from cat to cat through daily contact. FIV needs a deep bite wound for transmission.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

My beloved cat, Tiny, died in January from that. She must've gotten it when she was outside & fought with another cat a couple of years ago. They say fighting is the #1 way of getting it because the puncture wound from a bite is the easiest way to get it from the saliva to the blood. At first there wasn't any symptoms. I didn't know she really had anything till last summer when she started losing weight & pooping outside of her litter box. Then it progressed to her not liking to do her " old things " anymore like sitting in the sun, sleeping in bed with me, stuff like that. In the end it was so very sad. I still miss her very, very much. She was only nine. Look it up on google. There will be alot of info on there. I hope your cat doesn't have it-good luck........

Answer 4

During the early stages of infection, it is common for cats to exhibit no signs of disease at all. However, over time—weeks, months, or even years—the cat's health may progressively deteriorate or be characterized by recurrent illness interspersed with periods of relative health. Signs can include:

Loss of appetite

Slow but progressive weight loss, followed by severe wasting late in the disease process

Poor coat condition

Enlarged lymph nodes

Persistent fever

Pale gums and other mucus membranes

Inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and mouth (stomatitis)

Infections of the skin, urinary bladder, and upper respiratory tract

Persistent diarrhea

Seizures, behavior changes, and other neurological disorders

A variety of eye conditions

In unspayed female cats, abortion of kittens or other reproductive failures

Answer 5

I don't know if this is sceintific or not but when my sisters cat got it you could tell it was sick for about a week it just wanted to be alone it'd curl up ina closet and just sleep all day (this cat was usually pretty playful) and it started loosing weight and they had a hard time getting it to keep food down. if at any time your cat acts "not normal" for more than a day or two you should see a vet. Also make sure to get your cat tested every year during its annual check up just to be safe.

Answer 6

I actually had a cat with feline leukemia. The first thing that I noticed wrong with her was her breathing. Her nose and chest moved really fast and hard. Also she only lyed around. I have had 5 cats with cancer, they were born with it.If you need any questions about it feel free to e-mail me.

Answer 7

I worked at a vet's office for 10 years. The cat will sneeze and have runny eyes (like upper respiratory infection), it will vomit and had loose stools, and will loose weight rapidly. Fatigue is also a symptom. They can survive for a long time without symptoms, kind of like humans with HIV.
