Feline Leukemia and Lymphoma

[Skylar]

Hi all-
Two of my friends adopted FeLV positive kittens (same litter) and now (in the same week) both have gotten seriously ill- one developed the lymphoma usually associated with the FeLV and the other's virus has more likely than not spread to her bone marrow. The one with the Lymphoma looks great and the mass is small, will probably have surgery to remove it and start chemo. His sister is really on her last leg and has diminished in a weeks time. Conventional medicine really cannot help them any more, in my opinion, having done chemo on a FeLV positive cat with Lymphoma that did nothing. Any suggestions or ideas on anything holistic that may improve their short time left? Open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Kristina

sorry to hear about your friend's kitties don't really have any info though, i'm sure someone will come along and guide you in the right direction.

I would assume that any supplements that support the immune system and support red blood cell production would perhaps help. Does the vet have any suggestions?

At this point all that has been given is an antibiotic (Baytril- feverish and White Cells/Leukocytes etc plummetting) and Pet Tinic, which is a vitamin supplement. Essentially being used for the iron (RBCs and HCT low). Thats why I was looking for something outside the vet field, because they'd both try just about anything at this point (and really, it can't hurt). Thanks :/
