Thank goodness, Ang, aren't you glad they went now? It is an excellent idea to retest in any case, and you should make sure that the retest is IFA just to be sure. Now take a deep breath and give your kitties a hug. And, as Wendy says, take some time to grieve for Boy. Sometimes it helps to talk to them -- just in case something you were feeling went unsaid. And invite him to visit you often, tell him this new home is his home although he didn't have much time there. Diane R.

Thank you for your support and encouraging words. We just got back from the Vet's office, with Ripley and Sherman, the SNAP test came back NEG!!!!!! We are going to retest in 3 months. The Vet said the only difference in the 2 tests (SNAP verses IFA) is the accuracy is a little higher with the IFA. Both tests are in the 90 percent range. God bless all!

Although I did figure it out. His gums were exactly as you described he spent two nights at the vet hospital with fluids and IV Baytril. He crashed the second night. I imagine much like your baby did. His spirit was gone when I arrived to visit him that morning. They had cleaned him up and he was cold. I felt so bad that I did not see his symptoms sooner. I had him euthanized. Cats are good at hiding there symptoms. I had another cat who was sick at the same time and being treated for anemia by a different vet. This was due to the fact he had been hit by a car several months earlier and that was the only available vet who could see him in a hurry. Now I was worried Junior's condition was more serious. I took him back in that week and though he looked fine he had a fever of 106.5. The kept him hydrated him and called me to say they wanted to to a FELV test. He has tested neg that same year. It came back positive. I had 11 cats at that time. Two more tested positive. One also had been sickly had FIV as well. He had been adopted from a shelter. I was in panic mode last fall. The group kept me going. I lost Tiny from unrelated cause he died very suddenly last Christmas. Lionel, my felv/fiv cat was also PTS he was not well. Good news Junior is stable and he had a very rough go but is fine now other than his pos status. He gets immune booster like the group says.
