All vaccines are only about 80% effectiveI really don't have much
experience with this because I have two very healthy FeLV+ cats, living
separately from others. But I would think that if retested, being only a
weak positive, maybe the cat will be negative! It seems to have been
really run
Personally, I would read the information on the board about the
testing procedures and have him retested. Meanwhile I would vaccinate
my cats and keep Lucky safe until he is retested. Depending on what
you decide to do about mixing (again this board has lots of
information--I mixed after
Don't wait days to check. If it came through, and it did, you will be
getting information in days if not hours. This is an extremely caring

Thanks, Cougar Clan. I am looking up a holistic vet here in Sonoma County.
Lucky was living outside and not coming around for feeding. I knew I had to
do something when I spotted him just after sunset one evening on the
neighbor's roof, looking out on the world. It was the saddest, most
I am very sure he does. The drooling is a sign of contentment as is
the purring and kneading. He sounds like a wonderful little guy.
How confident are you in your vet? If the answer is not 110%,

How old are your other cats? Cats develop some natural immunity with age.
After the age of 1-3 they become less likely to develop FeLV. If vaccinated and
over 3 the risk is there but small. How old is the cat that tested positive? If
under a year there is a good chance the cats body can rid
Yeah, I don't know this vet all that wellHe's young (which can be
good -- maybe up on the latest technology) and I don't really have a read on
him. Maybe he's just a little bit in a hurry. I'm thinking of taking Lucky
to someone more experienced. Frankly -- and I hate to say it -- but
Thanks, Tanya, that is helpful information.
Lucky is between 11 and 13 yrs. My other cats are: 14, 9 and 7. I keep my
cats _strictly_ indoors. Lucky would have to adapt to that life, or show
me he will stay only in my yard (which, at his age, he might do). Thanks
for the info on IFA -- I
