I have a kitten that tested positive on her in-house ELISA test. I think I'm
going to do the ELISA test that is sent out to the lab next. Does anyone know
if antibiotics like Clavamox would affect the outcome of the test? I wouldn't
think so but you never know.

Here are more links that I could find on when to test, somewhat

Hi Georgetta,
Yup, I understand how bitey an unsocialized singleton can be! My arms
were SO scratched up from my first positive that lived in quarantine
from 6-12 weeks. Others here may have better references, but I found
one article that says that the time between infection and testing

I'm with you on that one Ignorance is bliss. I still feel
guilty over a cat I PTS years ago, just because I tested him and he
was FelV pos. This was what was recommended then, but I'd have never
known he was positive otherwise. I had 4 other cats at the time and
he'd been with them for yea
I think the only way to get a 'true' test on felv kittens is to test them asap
and then wait at least 60 days (preferably 90). Keep them totally away from
other cats, and then retest. This is so hard to do that I don't think anyone
can judge a cat at any age as positive or negative from one te
lled 'high quality' foods.

Hi,
We've had several FIV cats and they've all lived well into their teens.

I don't know why. I think most people just wait on both tests (at shelters)
until the kittens are old enough to combo test. I think you could give the
leukemia test at any age. Honestly, if I were taking in a new cat I would not
even test it as a requisite to taking it in at this point.

my unscientifix explanation is that they can be tested for felv at any age, but
you won't know if that's a 'true' positive for at least 3 months of time. 3
months that you KNOW they are not with any other exposed cat. I see it as
impossible in the real world. I wish the test had never even been
What, exactly, is the question? Do you want to know why you can test for FeLV
at any age?

PTS is out of the question for cats/kittens that appear to be healthy and one
month just doesn't seem long enough. So I rely on groups like this for
guidance.

Although many vets test sooner, my vet feels that you get the more accurate
results if you wait until 3 months.
