If your Oriental Shorthair cat has FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) then he will need to have a few changes in his regularly routine to help him adjust to the illness. For instance, a diet change may be needed to decrease the chances of contacting a secondary illness. For instance, feed your cat a diet that is free of raw meat, eggs and unpasteurized dairy products as these may harbor bacteria and parasites that can lead to infection. Other changes may be in the form of daily exercise. Your cat may require more or less depending on how he feels. If possible, continue walking and exercising your cat to keep up his overall health. Leukemia Virus can often develop other illnesses as a result of a compromised immune system. Some cats can develop anemia, lymphoma or other cancers and become susceptible to other diseases due to a suppressed immune system. Talk with your vet South Charlotte, NC to learn more.
