4:30 PM Managing FeLV in Bengal |
If your vet has diagnosed your Bengal with FeLV or the Feline Leukemia Virus then you should talk to him about possible treatment or management plans for your cat. FeLV is a virus that can cause anemia, lymphoma, and a suppressed immune system in cats. The virus is not contagious to other animals or people. There is no cure for FeLV and most treatment options are for the purpose of prolonging your cat’s quality of life. If your Bengal tests positive for FeLV at an early stage and is healthy then he could possibly resist the virus or clear it on his own. However, younger cats and older cats tend to be unable to fight the virus on their own. Treatment can be given to keep your cat comfortable and to prevent secondary infections caused by a compromised immune system. Talk to your veterinary clinic Marietta, GA about other ways to keep your Bengal comfortable. Learn more here. |
