Hi Giselle,
I would take the kitty in. It probably isn't panleuk if she has been
vaccinated - but if she hasn't - she would need immediate and
aggressive treatment in order to live. It isn't really something you
can treat at home.
Taking her in would also make you feel better.:)

but because of the situation you described (new home with cats) and the
fact that you just moved and your kitty is FeLV+, I would go ahead and
take her in just to be safe. Please keep us posted on her progress
Giselle. Prayers going out that this is nothing.
