Awesome news! Though I have to say I'm not surprised she retested negative! ;) I found it a little odd that her littermate was negative as kittens are very susceptible to the virus...I suspected a false positive, like Nina, but didn't want to put the cart before the horse, so-to-speak! I'm so glad to hear that that was the case!
Unfortunately, I don't know much about the genetic abnormalities that you mentioned! I did have one cat who had a murmur...but it never affected him as far as I know...I used to give him 30 mg of CoQ10 every day as it is supposed to be good for the heart muscle. But I definitely second the second opinion for your little one! :) Jen **************************************************** "But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
