I didn't want to answer because your case sounds problematic. Once you get

I have never dealt with FeLV in kittens, but just wanted

It's highly unlikely any of your healthy adult
cats could have caught the virus, even with prolonged contact. It's almost
always kittens under one year of age, or immune compromised cats (FIV+) that
catch it from carriers. I would definitely test any cats that are weak, or under
a year of ag

Dear Sally:
Did the cats test positive on both an ELISA and an IFA test? If they were

sensitive to the antigen produced by the replicating virus so it can be an

Look at the artivcle on Immuno-regulin on this group's web site. Also the archived messages on feline interferon. If your cat is killing her own red blood cells she may need steroids for a while to reverse that. I would take her to an internist if you can.
