FeLV tracking for daily cat care

FeliVitals helps caregivers organize FeLV care records: wellbeing, weight, appetite, medications, symptoms, lab history and vet visits.

Important note

FeliVitals is for tracking and organization. It does not diagnose FeLV, prevent transmission, recommend antiviral therapy or supplements, change medication, or replace veterinary care.

Who this guide is for

This page is for caregivers whose cat has tested positive for feline leukemia virus and who want a calm place to keep routine observations, lab history and questions together.

What daily care may involve

Veterinary care for FeLV-positive cats may include regular exams, bloodwork, infection monitoring, dental or mouth checks, vaccination and household-risk discussions. At home, small changes in appetite, weight, behavior and symptoms can be useful to record.

Symptoms worth recording

These signs do not diagnose FeLV-related illness by themselves, but they are useful to record and discuss with your veterinarian:

  • weight loss, reduced appetite or low energy,
  • fever notes, hiding, behavior changes or poor grooming,
  • mouth, gum, eye or skin changes,
  • vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory signs or litter box changes,
  • medication notes, missed doses or recent vet visit findings.

What you can track in FeliVitals

  • Wellbeing: record appetite, energy, symptoms and daily notes.
  • Weight: follow gradual changes over time.
  • Medications: log prescribed medication routines and missed doses.
  • Labs and visits: keep lab results, vet notes and questions together.
  • Reports: export a PDF summary if you use FeliVitals Pro.

A simple daily workflow

  1. Log appetite, energy and symptoms when they change.
  2. Record medications when given.
  3. Add weight on a consistent routine.
  4. Enter lab values and vet notes after visits.
  5. Review patterns before each recheck.

Prepare for your vet visit

A useful FeLV visit summary may include weight, appetite, energy, fever notes, mouth or eye changes, infections, medication history, lab dates and questions about monitoring frequency.

Contact a veterinarian promptly for breathing difficulty, collapse, severe weakness, inability to eat, repeated vomiting or diarrhea, pale gums, fever concerns, or any urgent change.
