Nina Nina,   you could run a PCR test and it "SHOULD"  tell you if it is in the bone marrow or not..the PCR test tests for the genetic alteration of the cat to aid the virus in replication....damn retrovirus'...so aggrecating!!!  but anyways.... my point is that that test should be able to tell you if eh still has it or not...for sure...   Lisa and fur-brats Akira--FeLV miracle baby www.geocities.com/anzajaguar Indy-- Truley Indian Jones as a cat..FEARLESS Lance- Mini wire haired dashchund Bow-Tie- 2yr old (ssshhhh he doesnt know he is 15 :) ) jack russel cross Bennie Bird-- Vampire cockatiel Anza-- sexist Senegal parrot..deffinantly a ladies bird :)
