Run and find a new vet!!! Your current one is not up to date on FeLV. You can get a good idea of which vet might be up to date by calling some vets in your area and asking them personally over the phone what their philosophy is on treating FeLV. Thank God for Nebs you did not listen to your vet. Good for you for listening to your gut, girl! You found a great place for info. on this virus, and I haven't read the other posts yet, but I know a lot of info. has probably already been given out. Everyone here is great. You will need to retest Nebs in a few months to see if he is indeed positive. Do you know how he may have contracted it? Has he been outside by himself any? Gotten into any fights in the past?
Answers to your questions: Yes, absolutely the tests can be wrong. Yes, a cat can go back and forth between illnesses if they are FeLV positive. The most important thing is to keep your kitty stress free and feed him a great diet. I feed mine Innova Evo dry and wet. Most of us know here exactly what you are saying about not listening to your vet as the final word. Many of us have learned the hard way, after the fact. I think it's important that we educate everyone we can about that fact and about FeLV. Please keep us posted on your furbaby and feel free to ask any questions you have, no matter how crazy they may sound. :) Wendy Dallas, Tx ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't get soaked.
