I am a new member to the FeLV talk site, so please pardon me if I am not following the correct protocol. We found the cat on our doorstep. My daughter found him there when she came home from the high school homecoming football game Friday night. It was starving, and she could not let is suffer.

Hello All, This question is for a foster kitten I know of that tested felv+. Her name is Sally and she is only 6 weeks old. Happily the rescue that Sally is with knows enough to test again and Sally is being fostered in the meantime. I'm wondering this, if Sally has tested pos once,

We just got back from Murphy's vet check. The end of July, he was crashing with anemia-(in office PCV 18) HCT 22.3 RBC 3.5 HGB 5.1 even his Absolute Reticulocyte count was 35200 and the lab notation said a count of over 5 was evidence of regenerative anemia-which he was below

Hi everyone- A few days ago I posted about a foster cat who tested positive via a SNAP test for FeLV. We brought him in for the IFA test and I just found out that he tested negative! This is certainly very welcome news. I understand that we will have to have him retested, but this result is

Nina, I don't want to give you any false hope. It is more likely that an adult cat will throw off the virus than a kitten. There is always a chance the test result was an error. Do you know what became of Sally's littermates. My experience with kittens is that all in the litter tested

Alice, This is fantastic news. I think you are the first person I know to have reversed a nonregenerative anemia without transfusion. There are probably others but I do not know of them. I would love to recreate your success. To recap since the anemia (was this hemolytic - sounds like since

Hi Sharyl, I'm sorry for your loss. I can relate to the heartbreak. My first experience with felv was with tiny babies too. Happily one of the 6 kittens was neg, so I got to keep my special Timmy boy with me, (he's over six yrs old and sitting on my lap as I type this). The person who is

I also never saw your original post on Lydia, so I don't know what her condition is or what led you to have these tests to begin with. My Fuji had an HCT of 17 about 8 weeks ago. I was very concerned she would need a transfusion. She has since bounced back and hasn't had the anemia since.

Hi Jenny! OK-we live at the vet-LOL With FeLV, the sooner you can nip anything in the bud, the better. Murphy was put on Cyproheptadine in April for sneezing-we thought allergies because he liked to hang out at the screen door to watch the birds. I had been giving fewer LTCI shots-went to 8
