Felv?
This is for future reference as this was the first time I have encountered feline leukemia. What is the outlook on a case of a 9 month old kitten who tested positive on a SNAP test and has this severity of anemia and a reticulocyte count that makes it nonregenerative? Symptoms were weight loss, not purring, head drop, dazed eyes, pale gums, cold extremities, and lethargy.
