The bone marrow aspiration was suggested by my vet for Ana's cat ONLY to confirm the regular leukemia - NOT for the Feline Leukemia virus! I have only had one kitten, years ago, and now two adult cats that are FeLV+ - the kitten was sick all the time, and died at a very early age - Nemo started having seizures and that was the end of it, but the two adults right now are in extremely good health.

MC, I've lost 9 FeLV kitties and have one survivor at this time. My vets never suggested the bone aspiration. Part of the reason could be cost since the vet knows I do kitty rescue and sanctuary the sick kitties.
