Oh I am so sorry. I had a kitty too and hated seeing it suffer.

I really have no idea but let us know.

She is also 11 years old but just 7 weeks ago when I took her in for her

shots she was healthy as a racehorse. She was exposed to a kitten

living with us for 2 weeks.

The vets are now finding that the injections for feline leukemia and

such are actually making the cats sick and they cause tumors. The

recommendations are if your cat is an in door cat, that you not have

them receive these injections as they are not exposed to outside cats.

There is nothing that can be done to reverse this, but the vet can make

Honey comfortable. My friend is going through the same thing with her

cat. My husband and I are currently debating what to do with our cat

since she is an indoor/outdoor cat. Would it be worse for her to

contract feline leukemia or possibly get the tumors from the injections.

Its six to one and half a dozen to the other I guess.

Good luck to you and Honey.

Regina,

In the end, I've decided to stop vaccinating my cats for anything except rabies,

required by the state. They're indoor/outdoor, but my old man is 14.5 years old

and has serious immunological damage from over-vaccinations (this according to

his very expensive specialist allergy vet!) and the younger two are both 7. I

have been through everything with Felix, and after almost losing him to

vaccination problems, I'm willing to stare the diseases in the eye. I almost

lost my purebred Lhasa puppy to a severe allergic reaction to corona vaccine,

too. You roll the dice either way, I think, but I'm choosing to avoid dosing the

cats with heavy metals and potentially ineffective vaccines this way. I think

once these three cats are all across the bridge, that there will be no more for

me. I'll stick to the dogs, who live vaccine-free without too much worry. :-)
