Hello
Bramble is still managing ok at the moment although I supect he is still having mild seizures although nothing like he was for the 3 days following that blasted revolution/stronghold treatment - never again will I use that on my cats. He is now just having moments where he appears
I asked my vet about seisure meds interfering with the interferon,
she said it would not, and she absolutely can't understand why a vet

she was too

I just got back from the vet with Tom... You all know so much, tell me what you think about what he said. Tom originally tested + on last Friday, but I read an article that they should have a retest right away with a different type of test (IFA, since Tom had a ELISA snap test). The vet said that

Michelle,
I've been using TF too. I can't tell you if it's having any effect, but
I'm not seeing any adverse reactions either. Happily it tastes good.
My Timmy, the one that tested neg from my litter, is very finicky, but
he'll eat it in a bit of tuna.
It sounds like Bramble is improving.
I also have been using TF, too - instead of Feline type, I use the human
TF plus type - I read on the website that a few vets recommending to use
the human plus type over feline type for especially for little guys
whose immune system has been compromised due to any serious illness

I just mentioned my Timmy to Michelle L. He's the one that miraculously

if FeLV is sequestered in bone marrow?). Anyway, as you know, my

please don't jump into the conclusion that he is going to be positive -

I have another question to ask - I apologize for asking so many questions
but I just can not think of all of them at one time! Since Ziggy tested
pos for FeLV at such a young age would it be "safe" to assume he was born with
it and is going to have it for the rest
Michelle,
That is great about the Transfer Factor! Thinking about your little guy! Does anyone know where I can buy TF for Tom?

First of all, I want to thank all of you for your

to us. Digby "came home" last Friday, which seems to help in the grieving

Linda,
You certainly did the right thing. There is no reason to put to euthanize a cat just for being positive! This cat could never even get sick from leukemia and just be a 'carrier'. If he does get sick then you can decide about treatments and alternatives. That might not happen for a very
That is good news. I think Bramble is telling you he wants to hang on. When will his good vet be back?
It sounds like Minstrel might be having an allergic reaction to something. Has he been in contact with the flea treatment or anything else? Or it could be that he just allergies to dust or
Yes, false positives are very common for fiv because kittens can test positive if their mother was positive and then throw it off later. I don't think an fiv test is considered definitive on a cat under 3 or 6 months. I don't remember which it is. I know I wish shelters didn't test for fiv anymore

Hi, everyone. I just wanted to see if there are any more questions;
The IFA is more definitive, but I really don't see any reason to give it right away. If Tom still tests positive or even negative on the elisa in 30 days I would retest with IFA as a means of double checking the results. Tom is a lucky cat to have found such a good home!
Also, I didn't realize
True, you can do it right away, but if the IFA comes back negative I still don't think you'd want to vaccinate for felv without waiting an interval of time, so why waste the money on a 2nd test right now? If it were me, I would wait 60 days to be sure, and then I would go have both tests. That is
True. I really think anyone bringing new cats who test negative should still retest 60-90 days later to be truly sure. And then during that time the cat could not be exposed to any new cats or to possible positives. That's why I think, too, it's much more common than we know that we have cats that
