Re: Determing the stages of FeLV

[gary]

I'm not exactly sure myself but, a few days ago Kerry quoted and email from Sally that stated in part -- So if Pilgrim tested ELISA positive, but IFA negative, that is good news in that she is still in stage 1-3 of the infectious process and there is a chance she can clear the virus and revert to negative status. And, according to Dr. Pitcairn in his book Natural Health for Dogs and Cats, cats do not begin shedding the virus and become infections to other cats until they have reached stage 5. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2005 11:11 PM Subject: RE: Determing the stages of FeLV I’m not sure what you mean by ‘stages’ ..    Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of gary Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2005 4:12 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Determing the stages of FeLV   Hello All,   First, my heart goes out to those whose little ones recently passed.   I am new to the list and new to dealing with FeLV, I now have 3 fosters that have tested positive.  Fortunately, no are sick at this time.  I was wondering how you determine what stage of FeLV they are in?   Gary
