I have four 7 week old kittens and their mother that came from the pound that I
need to test for FELV/FIV and my vet said that I would only need to test the
mother and one kitten and not test all kittens.
Do you think that will be reliable? It's $30 per snap test, so I think they're
wanting
Hi,
I would test all, if financially possible. I rescued a mom and five babies,
mom tested negative, runt tested positive at 7 weeks old and was
quarantined, 4 siblings were negative at 8 weeks old. One of the neg's got
a fever at about 14 weeks old, he was retested Elisa and IFA and was
I believe that mostly it is true that testing just one kitten would be
enough. I have read that if kittens were fathered by different males (one
who could have been infected and another who was negative), some could be

Michelle,
In my limited experience, if the Mother is positive then odds are all the
kittens are positive. I'd start testing with the Mom. If Mom is negative then

important to test all the kittens. We used to do what your vet said y ears ago,
then discovered on more than one occasion since, that if a mom is negative it
does not mean the kittens ARE negative. We had a case
I keep a prayer journal and I have a page for animals. I will be praying for
Kiwi. I rescued a male stray with FELV in May. He is doing very well now,
but he was very sick and nearly died. In addition to all the medical and
nutritional things you all are doing, I stroked him and prayed over him
Agree 100% with Carmen.
