I took in a cat back in November (Smokey) before I brought him into the household I took him to the vet and had him checked and tested for felv. The test showed negative. I brought him home and let him be around some of my other cats. All of my other cats had been vaccinated every year. Then in December Smokey started running a fever. Every time the vet could get his fever down well in 2 or 3 days it was back again. Finally they tested him for felv again this time it was positive. The vet told me that he probably was recently exposed to the virus and the 1st time he was tested it hadn't had time to show up in his bloodstream. I was freaked about my other cats. I took all to the vet and had them tested all were negative. The vet wanted to recheck in 3 months so on May 6 they will go back. I am keeping my fingers crossed. This is my first experience with felv. I ended up changing vets for Smokey. He is doing good so far. I still take my other cats to my old vet. I have been going there for probably 12 years and they feel like family. I just didn't think they were the best to treat felv. My old vet did tell me that they have changed their protocol since Smokey. They test and retest in 3 months. They had never had this happen before. I don't mix my cats now. I have a room for Smokey to stay in and I go spend time with him and he has lots of toys. For me I just didn't want the worry.
