OMG Kelley, that's fabulous news about the neg results!! It must be
what I said about false positive results, there's no other way to
explain it. As far as retesting your other previously tested neg cats,
your vet is probably right. You seem to have never really had felv in
the house. My goodness girl, way to dodge the bullet! You are truly
blessed. If it will put your mind at ease, go ahead and have them
tested again. They can get some base line cbc results to keep on file
at the same time, if you like.
As far as the heart murmur kitty... What grade murmur did your vet say
it was? Many kittens and puppies have slight heart murmurs that resolve
themselves as they grow. How old is she? If it's a serious one, there
are surgical options that you could consider. My ex-husband adopted an
5 week old kitten that had serious heart problems. They did open heart
surgery on this little tiny girl and the vet has assured him that she's
going to be fine now. I don't know about neg cats and different size
pupils, but I know it's something that does occur with felv kitties and
doesn't seem to cause any trouble. Does the vet think that her teeth
are curved enough to cause her problems? Take another deep breath. You
had a terrible fright with the felv test and that turned out, (at least
it appears to have), been nothing to worry about. I'm praying that your
special love's problems will work themselves out too. What's her name?
You've obviously got a very powerful Angel on your shoulder, keep the
faith that they won't let you down.

Hi guys,
I took 5 kittens/cats in to be tested today. The little girl who
previously tested pos tested negative today. So did all her
littermates and the unrelated cat. Very, very good news. I still
don't understand how one who tested positive 3 days ago tested
negative today, but she did.
The vet at the clinic feels it is unnecessary at this point to have
cats in my home who have previously tested negative re-tested. Do you
agree?
Also, unfortunately, one little girl I took in was diagnosed with a
heart murmur, so they would not inoculate her. The vet also stated
she had some genetic abnormalities - asymmetric pupils and teeth that
curve in instead of going straight downI'm very worried about her now
as she is the love of my life. Do any of yall know of any good web
resources on heart murmurs? I'm taking her in for a second opinion
next weekend.
I wanted to thank everyone for being there for me the last few days.
You are an awesome group of people. I learned a lot about this
disease, too.
Thanks so much,
Kelley
