She's
had 5 Leukeran pills so far. Last week she began sneezing

Good goin' Alice! Sounds like you're doing a grand job as a nurse.
I had an old cat years ago; she took prednisone for a skin condition. It
was cyclic rather than constant. Whenever she went on the med she grew by
20%. They really bulk up on it. She got a little aggressive (well,
Hello,
I rescued a stray two weeks ago. Took her to the vet a week ago and they said
she was FELV positive. She was starving when I found her, but she has gained
weight and is looking good. Her eyes just glisten and she seems healthy. The
vet
said she was about a year old. She only weighed six
When I lived with my parents, my FeLV+ cat lived in my bedroom away from my
parents healthy cats. (My cat tested positive at 5 weeks old and I was not
going to put him down. P.S. He's almost 2 years old and still healthy!)
They played under the door, my cat escaped a few times, but the Leukemia
Hi Jannes:
The FELV/FIV Combo SNAP tests can have a lot of cross-reactivity resulting in
false positives. IF you tested via the in-house FELV/FIV Combo test (the test
they run in the vet's office) you should retest via the ELISA test that is sent
to the lab. Alternatively, you could

I mix my FeLV fosters with my healthy, negative, vaccinated cats. I have done
this for years have my healthy cats re-tested many time - including about a

etc.

I realize now that I did not address the concern you posted about. I felt the
need to educate you about the testing protocol for FELV because I would hate to
see you cage a cat for 3 months that may not even be infected with the virus.
You cannot consider a cat persistently viremic until they
I foster cats and kittens for my local humane society. Last week a 2 year old
kitty died. She tested positive for FeLV. I got her as a kitten and at that

I've heard from some of the vets that FeLV can hide in the bone marrow for a
while before ever showing up on a combo test. How long do you think that can
happen before the combo tests shows positive? Anyone have experience with
this? If the FeLV + cat and the other cat have been living
Matter of fact, I have an FIV + cat living with me that hasn't contracted the
FeLV. I'm not quite sure how that has happened because he should have gotten
it right away. I'm going to have him tested a couple more times over the next
few months to be sure. Maybe FeLV isn't as contagious as
Ideally, when a cat is tested for anything, FIV/FeLV, it should be isolated
for three months and retested. However, rescue groups cannot do it because
of space limitations, especially isolation areas.
When a cat tests negative, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's true - the
cat may just have
My FIV cat lived on and off for 10 years with FeLV cats never got it. Of
coarse he was vaccinated.

So you think FeLV would show up by 3 months after the first combo test? I'm
just wondering what the maximum amount of time it can take to show up on a test
once they've been exposed to FeLV. Someone recently said it can take up to a
year before the test would indicate that the cat is
It should show up in 3 month but I don't feel safe until it's been 6 months.

My FIV cat has never been vaccinated against FeLV which is why I assumed he
would get it from the other kitty. Doesn't make sense. Oh well, I'm glad he
didn't get it.
