My first impulse is to not suspect felv. It would be highly unusual for
them all, esp at the same time, to display the same symptom, (diarrhea)
as an indication of felv compromising their immune systems. It is much
more likely a product of immature gi's dealing with your smorgasborg
feeding stations :). I would contact the vet if I were you to have
their stool tested for parasites, (including giardia and coccidia).

The three kittens I am fostering, whose mom tested a faint positive
12/24, have ongoing diarrhea.
They have received Albon and Metronidazole but the diarrhea (liquid)
continues.
They are eating Purina One kitten chow, plus quite a mix of what is
available around the house (Science Diet adult, Innova Adult, and
Purina DM). This is not optimal for controlling intestinal issues, but
again, I don't want to lock them up.
Other than the diarrhea they are a normal and lively lot. Of course
since they have possible exposure to FeLV I am fretting that the
diarrhea is indicative of something sinister.
How should I proceed? Back to the vet, or hope it works itself out?
What is the likelihood FeLV is the base culprit?
thanks,
