Thanks MC. Rocket and Sissy are from the came litter and are approx.6 mo. old.
I rescued them from my dumpster colony about 10 wks ago. They are the
sweetest little lovers. I'll check again after they have been on the Mega C
Plus for 120 days. Sissy and Rocket have 2 other litter mates that I have not
been able to rescue. Stormie who is from a different litter in the same colony
has tested negative so I am optimistic about the rest of the colony.

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.

Sue,
Fingers and toes crossed for Buzz today.
I had Rocket retested Tuesday when I took her in to be spayed. Still
positive after 8 weeks on lactoferrin and DMG. We just started the Mega C Plus
and will test again in a few months. Wish the darn test didn't cost $46.
Since Rocket was still positive I didn't waste my money testing Sissy.
If Buzz has given the electrician a paws down I'd listen to him.
Saying a prayer for you and Buzz.

Hello everybody,
Today after work I will take Buzz to have his first re-test since he was
diagnosed positive for FeLV. I am trying not to hope too much, but there is a
bottle of champagne in the fridge if he turns out negative. Tuna for Buzz - I
don't think he likes champagne.
Meanwhile he has been released from his room and is socializing with the other
cats. I did some of the things the people in this group recommended and that
probably helped. All went well until a couple of days ago when some
electricians came to our house. He really freaked! He hid for 8 hours after
they were gone. His fear probably had something to do with the abuse he
received as a kitten.
Anyway, if anyone would care to say a prayer for my little kitty it sure would
be appreciated.
Sue
