Heather I went through this with my 1st FeLV. I was hesitant to spay her, but when she went into heat (I'd never seen ANY cat in heat before) I figured the stress of that was far worse than the stress of the spay. She needs to be spayed regardless of the outcome of the retest. Beth Dont Litter, Fix Your Critter! www.Furkids.org

To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Friday, August 27, 2010, 12:15 PM Hello, Seeking input...we have a beautiful young Siamese rescue kitty who tested FIV/FELV positive (the FELV was that controversial "light" positive) and is awaiting retest, of course we did not want to stress her immune system so were waiting to spay her (just found her a couple of weeks ago) but I was worried this would likely happen, she is in heat. I would guess that is also a stress to her system, but am not really sure what we should do. I am a rescuer & highly involved with feral cats/TNR so spay/neuter is always a priority but of course the hopes of clearing the FELV is right now the biggest hope for this little girl's life....any input is appreciated. I asked my vet and she really wasn't certain what to advise & is going to get back to me. Thanks!
