Today is test day
Hello everybody, Today after work I will take Buzz to have his first re-test since he was diagnosed positive for FeLV. I am trying not to hope too much, but there is a bottle of champagne in the fridge if he turns out negative. Tuna for Buzz - I don't think he likes champagne. Meanwhile he has been released from his room and is socializing with the other cats. I did some of the things the people in this group recommended and that probably helped. All went well until a couple of days ago when some electricians came to our house. He really freaked! He hid for 8 hours after they were gone. His fear probably had something to do with the abuse he received as a kitten. Anyway, if anyone would care to say a prayer for my little kitty it sure would be appreciated. Sue

Re: Today is test day
All prayers and love to Buzz. The electrician thing may just be between electricians and cats. I had some in the house a few days ago and Dixie was totally blown away. She is very used to workers coming into the house since it is still a construction zone (if you ever want to build a log house find me and I'll tell you all about the companies involved). She should not have been upset at all. When they came back I put her in the storm room and locked them out. She was much happier. Maybe Buzz and Dixie know something we don't. Please scratch under his chin for me. A good chin scratching makes lots of things better.

Re: Today is test day
Sue, Fingers and toes crossed for Buzz today. I had Rocket retested Tuesday when I took her in to be spayed. Still positive after 8 weeks on lactoferrin and DMG. We just started the Mega C Plus and will test again in a few months. Wish the darn test didn't cost $46. Since Rocket was still positive I didn't waste my money testing Sissy. If Buzz has given the electrician a paws down I'd listen to him. Saying a prayer for you and Buzz.

Re: Today is test day
sending GLOW that buzz tests negative, of course! sharyl, i have learned never to retest until it's been 120-days, the generally-considered time for the virus to work itself out of a kitty's body (tho there used to be a reference in the merck to one cat that stayed positive on the ifa for seven or eight months before converting--i never kept the citation, and it hasn't been in the current pages for awhile now.)--if i do it before that time, it just means i'm gonna retest at the designated time anyway, just to be sure--and it saves money to wait, too. (first time i had to test everyone in the house, after a cat who'd tested negative on a shelter saliva test--oy, was I young and innocent then died from complications of FeLV, i did it like at 90 days. and then found out it might have been too early. if my vet hadn't gently suggested that i not worry, and just wait to see if anyone became syptomatic and THEN test, i would have repeated it for all the furkids in a month. as i've said before, that was 8 years in july, and i'm still waiting for symptoms to show up.

Re: Today is test day
Thanks MC. Rocket and Sissy are from the came litter and are approx.6 mo. old. I rescued them from my dumpster colony about 10 wks ago. They are the sweetest little lovers. I'll check again after they have been on the Mega C Plus for 120 days. Sissy and Rocket have 2 other litter mates that I have not been able to rescue. Stormie who is from a different litter in the same colony has tested negative so I am optimistic about the rest of the colony.

Re: Today is test day
The first test Buzz had was negative, when my brother still had him. That was last fall. When my vet re-tested him in January he was positive. (They did both the in-office test and a blood test afterwards.) If he tests positive tonight I will not re-test him until just before the other cats get their boosters next year.
