"Pippin was first tested the day we brought her home and before she
had any contact with them. When we brought her home from the vet we
had instructions to keep her litter pan, water and food separate and we've done
so these past weeks. There has been casual contact but no grooming or
biting. And she has not used their litter pans or shared their food or
water. Is there still a chance she passed the disease? I was
wondering."
No. No chance. FELV is spread through the saliva (and possibly other bodily
fluids), and once it dries, it dies, instantly. If she hasn't been mutually
grooming, and hasn't shared any bowls or litterboxes, then it's physically
impossible for her to have spread the virus to the other cats.
Relax, you've done everything right! The fact is, all your other cats are
adults anyways, so their chances of getting the FELV from her are slim to none
to begin with, even if they french kiss each other. Phaewryn PLEASE Adopt a cat from Little Cheetah Cat Rescue!!!
