Hi Julie, Good luck with the retest. I am not sure if anyone mentioned this or not, but the kittens should be retested I think after a certain age, because they can carry their mother's FeLV antibodies for a certain time and test positive even though they may actually test negative at a later date. I am thinking four months, but not sure on that. Someone here will know that specifically. I swear by lysine for humans and animals (is there a difference? lol); it's an anti-viral. Make sure you buy pure lysine. I have also heard great things about Vitamin C, but have never used it with my cats. Let us know how it goes. :) Wendy

While we wait out re-testing them, is there anything that can be done in hopes of boosting their immune system and fighting off the virus? I am using Pet Tinic liquid vitamins twice a day and lactoferrin/colostrum supplement in their wet food twice a day..anything else we should be doing?
