I had a nine week old kitten that had picky eating patterns and liked to spend her time under the heater. I didn't think much of either of these activities. When I left for work friday morning she was fine. When I got home, she was having problems keeping her balance, she was cold, and having difficulty breathing. I rushed her to the ER vet only to find she was FeLV positive.

He said it was strange that she would go downhill so quickly with it. Has anyone else experienced such a drastic change over just a few hours time?

She was so sick we made the decision to put her down. Unfortuantely I have three other cats that now have to be thoroughly tested. One has been already, and he came up negative, thank goodness. Vet wants to wait six months and retest him, and I still need to get the other two tested as well.

Here's a pic of the little one I lost
