[Felvtalk] age

2017-02-08 Thread Armstrong-Brown, Sheila DDS Timonium
I am learning a lot about FELV cats since I found my Skylar. Just wondering about how old is the oldest cat that lived with it. I had the IFA test done and that is positive also even though he is perfectly healthy at the moment. He will be 2 years old this month, I found him a year ago.

Why would people judge you? I have an FIV cat and now a felv cat. All strays. It's wonderful to help out the cats that need it the most. My cat will be 2 years old and is just fine besides having the FELV status. It is a great thing you are doing. From: Felvtalk

Well, my FELV cat's bloodwork came back perfect. I had him retested for the 4th time and he is still positive. I am assuming the IFA test if 100% accurate. But for now, he is abit over weight and healthy. And I am shocked. He is only 1.5 years old. He just strayed in one day back in March

Has anyone used this Interferon before on an FELV cat? I started Skylar on that. he is not sick but since the IFA test was also positive, I wanted to give him a booster to his immune system so he will hopefully not get sick. I heard it wasn't as effective after 3 months use. It's 7 days on

I had the same situation but when the IFA is negative, the cat should shed the virus after testing negative. They normally retest every 3 months for the felv elisa test. The IFA test is 99.9% accurate. -Original Message- From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org]
