Signs of Cat Leukemia

[Cinnamon2002]

Hello, everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows the most common symptoms of Feline Leukemia??? Albert has lost some weight and I'm concerned, and some of his hair is missing significantly. I sure wish I could take him somewhere, but it's the holiday.

I sure hope that your kitty doesn't have it, but here's a link above, and symptoms are...
What are the signs of disease caused by FeLV?
During the early stages of infection, it is common for cats to exhibit no signs of disease at all. However, over time—weeks, months, or even years—the cat's health may progressively deteriorate or be characterized by recurrent illness interspersed with periods of relative health. Signs can include:

Loss of appetite
Slow but progressive weight loss, followed by severe wasting late in the disease process
Poor coat condition
Enlarged lymph nodes
Persistent fever
Pale gums and other mucus membranes
Inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and mouth (stomatitis)
Infections of the skin, urinary bladder, and upper respiratory tract
Persistent diarrhea
Seizures, behavior changes, and other neurological disorders
A variety of eye conditions
In unspayed female cats, abortion of kittens or other reproductive failures
