Beth, I remember Will, and I'm so sorry he had to go to the Bridge. Hugs to you.

Re: [Felvtalk] Multi Cat House Protocol
Hi, I'm not sure if you got a reply as my computer has been down for quite some time. I tested everyone Elisa and IFA initially, did a follow-up IFA several months later, and vaccinated the negatives. My plan was only to retest if a negative became sick, and this was supported by my vet. The chance that a healthy, adult, vaccinated negative will pick up the disease is small, so I felt the funds were better spent on other problems (2 of my negs have severe allergies). I haven't told the list yet, as I just got functioning Internet service again today , but I had to help my sweet positive boy leave this world on November 13th. I haven't been active on the list for some time now, but some folks here may remember Will Feral. Lymphoma finally got him, after 3.5 active, happy years. He is so terribly missed. I plan to test my 4 negatives as soon as finances permit, so that I can comfortably discontinue vaccinating them for FeLV.

[Felvtalk] Multi Cat House Protocol
Hello - For those of you with multi-cat households, I was wondering what your vet has recommended in terms of re-testing for FELV in the negative cat. I have 1 positive and 1 negative that have been living together for over a year now. I have been advised to re-test the negative cat once a year for FELV and give the negative cat the FELV combo shot once a year.
