I read all the posts, so I can learn how to deal with this virus. I lost my
kitten at 9 months, and apparently even though he was vaccinated my 4 year
old has tested positive for felv. He was diagnosed 4 months ago and shows no
sign of illness. My vet had recommended putting him down. I just couldn't
lose both my boys in one day. I am so thankful I didn't because Basil is
fine. My question is about the ability to fight off the virus-does this
really happen? Has anyone on this list actually had a felv+ cat that kicked
the virus? What should I expect and what should I be doing to help keep him
healthy? I tried to separate my felv+ boy and felv- girl, but they howled
and cried something fierce. They have been together since they were kittens.
I let them mix, and she is still negative. I read the information about
blood tests, and I get confused. Basil's blood work seems normal, other than
the fact that he tested positive. Thank you.
