sending GLOW that buzz tests negative, of course! sharyl, i have learned never to retest until it's been 120-days, the generally-considered time for the virus to work itself out of a kitty's body (tho there used to be a reference in the merck to one cat that stayed positive on the ifa for seven or eight months before converting--i never kept the citation, and it hasn't been in the current pages for awhile now.)--if i do it before that time, it just means i'm gonna retest at the designated time anyway, just to be sure--and it saves money to wait, too..... (first time i had to test everyone in the house, after a cat who'd tested negative on a shelter saliva test--oy, was I young and innocent then died from complications of FeLV, i did it like at 90 days..... and then found out it might have been too early..... if my vet hadn't gently suggested that i not worry, and just wait to see if anyone became syptomatic and THEN test, i would have repeated it for all the furkids in a month..... as i've said before, that was 8 years in july, and i'm still waiting for symptoms to show up.
