Your veterinarian Riverside County, CA may have already talked to you about FeLV or the Feline Leukemia Virus. If not, ask him about FeLV and ways to prevent your Burmese cat from being exposed to the virus. Your vet may recommend testing your cat regularly to help catch the disease in an early stage in which healthy cats may be able to resist the virus or fight it with early treatment. Protecting your cat from secondary infections is also key as the FeLV virus can cause a suppressed immune system in cats. In addition, cats that develop lymphoma or other types of cancer may be able to receive chemotherapy, which could lengthen their quality of life. Please note that there is no cure for FeLV. Most treatment options are meant to help keep your cat comfortable and to provide a positive quality of life for as long as possible. Click here to know more.
