Please remember, if you add a comment to a long list of discussions, the message becomes too large for this group (like this one) - it came back marked as being 'reviewed". Now, I will erase the bottom parts, and resend it in an updated form.

Yes, it is amazing with all the misinformation...I remember reading things last year that are different this year (from the same sources...) makes one really wonder!

A positive Elisa & a negative IFA means the Cat IS positive, the virus is just not replicating in the bone marrow yet. That's why I worry when people get so excited about a negative IFA. It really only means the cat may still throw off the virus. It's strange your vet didn't make that clear. But then some vets seem clueless when it comes to this virus. Hoping for the best for your babies.
