Hi Maggie, I don't have the beginning of this thread, but re throwing off FeLV, one of my 5 positives has thrown it off. My vet who ran the test in his office said there was no ambiguity--it's definite. He also said (you guys will correct me if I or he has this wrong) that 1/3 of cats testing positive throw it off. Hugs and good wishes to you and both your furballs, Maggie~~ Kerry M.

Yes, it still is possible (at any point in time really) to throw off the virus. People have experienced their cats throwing the virus off at just about any age. Since you know they are both positive, I wouldn't worry with all the testing. Maybe once a year just to know. Or not. It really doesn't matter, imo. What does matter is that they remain as stress-free as possible and that they get a really good diet. No grain in their food, which is most "commercial" foods, including Science Diet. Cats don't process grains. Also, supplements, like Lysine and/or vitamin C to boost their immune systems will really help. I don't know how much vit. C to administer, but a little more research might get you that info. Or, you could post a specific question, with the subject being about vit. c dosage, and I bet you'll get lots of answers. Many posters don't read all the posts due to lack of time, but if you post a specific question, you'll probably get a better response. I hope this helps, and good luck with your furbabies!
