Hi Lynne,
I would check the contract you have with the agency from which you adopted
her. It is likely the adoption is conditional on you getting her spayed -
this is why we do not adopt out unspayed animals btw.

Pippin tested negative on her IFA test for FeLV and FIV. We waited 22 weeks between the first test (ELISA) test and the IFA. The vet says shefeels confident in the resultsforseveral reasons: becausePippin was 7 weeks old when she had her first test and she was a faint positive on the ELISA at that

to spay her for a little longer I dont know how long she is.. but

Congrats on the negative test!!! Yea!!! I think the
anesthetic you are talking about is ISO gas, but
someone here might correct me. Also, fluids before,
during, and after the spay more specifically. The vet
will tell you to confine her for a few days, so your
room might be a great idea.
