My cat has just been diagnosed with FeLV. I read there is a 3 shot series that is suppose to make FeLV manageable. What is your opinion?

I'm so sorry that Cuddles has been diagnosed with FeLV. I presume that you are talking about T-Cyte for treatment. http://tcyte.com/cat-felv-fiv-treatment This treatment is relatively new, so I have not had the opportunity to use it yet. The hope is that this product will increase a cat's immune system and make the disease manageable, but will not cure the infection. Kittens with FeLV generally have a poorer prognosis than adult cats, so I would definitely recommend trying it since it is really the only possible treatment option for Cuddles. Good luck! I hope Cuddles does well with the treatment! Thanks for using PetCoach.
