Statistically,, from what I read 60 % of
cats who were exposed to the virus will get rid of the virus at a later on.. again,
I am not sure how valid it is.. From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of catatonya My cat Bob tested positive at around 6 months. He was a foster
and had not been previously tested. His mother was negative I assume, but
it was so long ago I don't recall. He tested positive on an elisa.
We waited 3 months and did a bone marrow test that was sent out............ I
don't even know if they had IFA's then. It came back negative and all
elisa tests since that time have come back negative as well. This was over 10 years ago, and he had already had his 'kitten shots'
and been neutered through my humane society because he was "up for
adoption" (yeah, right!) Maybe it was a false positive........... But it was before there
was advantage and all that, and my cats got fleas I couldn't get rid of.
I took about 8 cats to the vet on the same day to be dipped and bathed and bomb
my house. The vet's office called me back and said they couldn't treat
Bob because he had tested felv positive. They retested and did bathe and
dip him anyway even though he came up positive on the 2nd test. We waited
3 months and did the bone marrow and it came back negative. At that time
I just felt it must be a mistake with the test. I didn't know much about
felv (not many people did) and he was healthy as a horse. I didn't know
enough to freak out like I did later when another one of my cats came up
positive. (She came to me positive. She did not catch it from Bob.) tonya
