Raising a cat like a Manx can be a lot of fun. Part of
raising a cat like the Manx is ensuring he goes to the vet on a routine basis
for vaccinations and health checks. For instance, cats should be tested for the
Feline Leukemia Virus or FeLV virus on a yearly basis. FeLV is is a contagious
disease among cats and has no known cure. Cats that have FeLV may show symptoms
such as pale gums, yellow coloring of the mouth and whites of the eyes,
enlarged lymph nodes, bladder infections, skin infections, upper respiratory
infections, weight loss, loss of appetite, poor coat condition, weakness,
lethargy, fever, diarrhea, etc. If you see any of these symptoms in your cat
please contact your vet immediately. Your vet will need to run a blood test
called ELISA to determine if your cat has FeLV. Only your vets Saskatoon,
