Annie and Nitnoy were both positive. Nitnoy passed from other causes after 2 years. Annie is still with me and the other 5 remaining cats. She is healthy and the others get their vaccine for FELV. They eat, sleep and drink together and no one else has become positive. Let them mix unless they want to fight each other. Mine squable, slapping and hissing and that is alright.

If you have 2 cats with a positive IFA there is not way they are going to throw off the virus & could be together.

Thank you to everyone who responded - let me just clarify something. The ELISA testing that was done on Moe (2.5 year old, tested a year apart) was NOT the SNAP test done in office, but it was done at an outside lab, Antech Diagnositics. Baby, the 4-5 month old, was both SNAP tested and IFA tested. So, does that change any recommendations? One vet says that they can be put together. The other vet says that to be sure, we should wait another month, and switch the testing on them. Sigh......I am more confused than before if that is possible. -----Original Message----- From: one23disco <one23di...@aol.com> To: felvtalk <felvtalk@felineleukemia.org> Sent: Mon, Oct 14, 2013 6:43 pm Subject: Please help with testing confusion! I'm confused and hope people can help me to understand this. I have two cats who have tested positive for felv. One, Moe has tested positive twice on the ELISA, and the tests were done a year apart. Baby, has tested positive both on a SNAP and an IFA test - done two months apart. Different vets were used. They have been kept separate, both from each other and our negative cats. So, the question is can they be safely introduced to each other? Do I need Moe to be retested using the IFA? Do I need Baby retested using the ELISA? Please, any light that can be shed on this will be incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!
