Resending. ***********
We picked her up on Sunday at the sanctuary& she is now in her new home! Meanwhile this past week, the results of the IFA test came back - NEGATIVE! YAY! Her Elisa snap test about a bit ago was positive. As I understand it, the next test in about 30-60 days should be an Elisa lab test& then another IFA. Is this correct? While we were at the sanctuary, the family also fell in love with another Siamese, Coco, in the FeLeuk room. That kitty has tested positive on the snap test but has never had an IFA. The sanctuary owner wanted them to have her too but I said NO. We don't know her status well enough. Sending her home with Eleanor would be entirely too risky for Eleanor at this point. I told her to get Coco IFA tested at least. So I have two questions: 1. At this point Eleanor has tested positive on the Elisa snap test& negative shortly thereafter on the IFA test. Just what does this mean for her& what should be next? 2. Am I right in refusing to let Coco come with Eleanor? Is there any possibility that she could at some point, IF she tested negative on the IFA? Please do tell me what to do at this point. My first concern is for Eleanor. Incidentally Coco has NOT been in the FeLeuk room up there very much since the other cats don't like her, so she has been pretty much isolated from them Pam _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
