The vaccine for FVRCP isn't 3-yr one, it is just supposed to be given every
three years; the rabies vaccine comes in a one and three year. I don't know
what manufacturer's vaccines my vet uses - it shouldn't make a difference.

I haven't had any false negatives...but it is possible. Let's say a cat has
just been exposed to something and is tested; the antibodies haven't yet

honestly I don't think I've done a second test on any of my own that I've

Hi,
I want to introduce myself and my very beautiful Ragdoll kitten Kelsea who
tested positive for FeLV in the bone marrow ( I know it is not a good thing)
. Kelsea was diagnose with FeLV about 8 weeks ago. Right now she is doing
wonderful on the treatment plan her vet has her on, which
My cat was diagnosed 2 years ago with the same thing. He went on an aggressive
therapy of Interferon and LTCI with good results. He now test negative,
however, with being on Prednisolone, it may just be hiding. My story is a very
long one, with a lot of history! You are welcome to email me at
I introduced myself and my little FeLV girl Eden the other day. She'd had a
couple of episodes of fever and anorexia last week. She was treated at my vet's
office and was able to come home on Saturday. She's been doing pretty well but
last night we noticed a big improvement in her. She was
I am still looking for something for my two asymptomatic adults - my vet has
no confidence in interferon because he has never seen significant results
with it. He says that each cat is so different from another that a
treatment may help one but not the other. The first kitten I had years ago
was
Right now she's eating her regular canned food with NutriCal mixed in. She
likes it alot and is now starting to show some interest in just eating it right
off of a plate.
I'm also looking for some immune boosters. Transfer Factor seems like a good
one. I'm also wondering if anyone has used
I wrote earlier that the latest protocol was to space the FVRCP vaccine to
every three years, NOT every year, as most vets still do. I also mentioned
that when a cat receives the first two, spaced a month apart, and another
one year later, it should technically protect a cat for life (much like

Hi Brenda,
I have a 7 month old kitten who is also 7 lbs. We started her on interferon
right away as she is FeLV + in the bone marrow. When she was about 4.5
months she got real sick and her red blood count was 13. At that time we
found out she was FeLV+. Our vet recommend interferon along with
Re: :LTCH--I've had reasonable success with LTCI. If you do a search in the
archives, you can read what I've written about my journey with my cat, Aggie.
She's still kicking at 6 and a half years. I've had her on Alpha Interferon
every day of her life, 1 cc every morning (and after she
Thank you for sharing your story Sharon. It really does help to hear what
others are doing for their kitties. Our only other experience with FeLV was
with our kitty Scampi who passed away earlier this year. Scampi was a feral cat
