I've been told the same....IFA test if cat has ever had a positive ELISA
(snap) test. I have been told by my vet that 6 mos is safe to say that if it
test negative after 6 mos of being exposed, then it's good. But once the
cat/kitten receives a positive IFA test, then it's infected for life.
By the way, most cats test positive 28 days after exposure. I'm not sure on
the time frame of young kittens.
Good luck, Pam!

Subject: [Felvtalk] Sabrina - testing
What is the sequence of testing for FeLeuk cats? Sabrina had the snap
test about a week ago. I have seen differing opinions as to when the
first IFA should be done. I read somewhere 3 months after the snap test,
but a vet with one of our networks says no, it can/should be done now.
We are planning on getting the IFA done tomorrow, hopefully. Is this
correct?
And just what is the sequence & timing of all testing to see if the cat
has thrown the virus? I read that the period of time is about 6 months.
Is this right? And what tests should be done & when?
THANK you!
Pam
