Thank you for replying. I will continue to keep a very close watch on her.

Hi Nancy She could definitely be a carrier. I wouldn’t be concerned as long
as her blood work is okay. Keep a close eye on her gums, inside of the ears,
and pads to watch for any paleness which might signify anemia. I don’t think
she NEEDS any help right now, but you might consider trying her on a long
course of Doxycycline to see if maybe you can eliminate the virus. I have no
idea if it would work, but in the three-pronged treatment I recommend, I
believe that Doxycycline is blocking viral replication of the FeLV virus. If
your vet is willing, you could try the Doxycycline – I would think at least 6
weeks – and then wait a while and test her again for FeLV. If you give it a
shot and it works, let the rest of us know. Amani From: Felvtalk

Subject: [Felvtalk] QUESTION Hello, My girl is 4 years old and has had FeLV
for 3 years. We took in a kitten 3 years ago who tested negative for it. The
two were together after that and 6 months later, I found out the negative was
false. The kitten was actually a positive. When I tested my other girl, she
also had it. Kitten has since passed after 3 years of living with it, but my
other girl is still going strong. I had her retested yesterday because you
would just never know she has it. It was still positive. Could she be a
carrier? The vet was very pleased with the blood work as it was perfect. He
thought she may be a carrier. Wanted to have your thoughts. Although she is
doing so well, should I be giving her something to help her? Maybe to keep the
immune system strong? Thank you. Nancy
