Guys, is this true??? Pos Elisa and Neg IFA is bad?? What's everyone opinion regarding what what Cracker's vet said??
Thanks!!! >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9/26/06 5:17:29 PM >>> I forgot to mention something important. My vet had told me that when a cat is positive on Elissa test and then has a Positive IFA that the two positive results from the two tests is better then having a POS Elissa and a NEG IFA.He said when Elissa is POS and IFA is NEG sometimes the virus is hiding in bone marrow. He said that he believes that a cat has a better chance of throwing off virus if both tests are POS considering they arent a false/pos. He said best to recheck in 6 months and see what tests say. But he did warn me that just because Crackers is very healthy now DOES NOT mean he will always be that way and he may keep the virus permantly! But as mommies/daddies we NEVER give up hope. The one thing he said that made me down a little was that he suggests that I keep Crackers my only pet. I am aching for a kitten or 2 or 3. I miss watching Crackers having a play buddy. He loved Pokies. He said after the 2nd testing in March we can discuss that topic. I know most of you have multi/ cats POS and NEG. Dr. said if I was too adopt another POS Cat or healthy one Crackers now has a risk factor. So right now new babies is on the back burner. I just have to keep looking at all your great sites and Crackers loves sitting on my lap looking and the Kittys! Then we have our other babies:) much love and great thoughts to all love Kayte AND Crackers P.S. sorry so long _________________________________________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTE: This e-mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
