Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Poppy/IFA test
I agree with everyone else. The virus has probably gotten in her system since she's had two positive ELISA tests but there is a chance she could fight it off before it goes any further. If she does extinguish the virus she'll eventually test negative on both the ELISA and the IFA. If her system can't get rid of the virus then eventually she'll test positive on the IFA. (Course there is the possibility that both ELISA tests were wrong but probably not very likely). If you can keep her for a bit then re-test it would be better to give her time to see if she fights the virus off. It's harder for kittens to fight the virus but not impossible. I have heard of kittens fighting it off so if you can give her a little time so she has a chance for her immune system to do it's magic that would be the better option I would think. This lady with the FeLV sanctuary must be a wonderful person to do what she does. I don't think she understands the mechanics of how FeLV works though and how it gets into the body and then progresses. I'm not an expert but I have read lots and talked with several vets and of course everyone here knows a lot so I think the lady is mistaken in what she told you. She may have been talking about lymphoma which is one thing that can happen to a cat with FeLV. But it's no guarantee that that is what will happen with Poppy even if she can't fight the virus off. Some cats get a kind of severe anemia or several other things can happen, but some cats live with FeLV for a long long time and never have trouble. We were just talking about the 11 year old cat with FeLV. At the same time I had been talking with someone in my Feline Asthma group that just had a 16 year old cat that died and they discovered FeLV. They knew for sure the cat could have only gotten it as a kitten so she lived for 16 years with it which is a long time. So some cats just defy odds and live a long life so you can't say for certain how Poppy will do even if she has FeLV. Like I said, wonderful lady but it doesn't sound like she knows a lot about FeLV. Maybe she's just telling you stuff based on her personal experience with it. “I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 20:06:28 -0500 From: pam_nor...@charter.net To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Poppy/IFA test Good idea, but no, it was a blood test.

If she is positive on the snap test again (and it has been at least 6 weeks since she last tested positive) then she is FeLV positive, but you need to wait the full 6 weeks to give her body time to clear the vius. There is still a slight chance she could clear the virus from her body even if it has been 6 weeks but most likely she will not. I have spoken with the maker of the snap test because we were always told that there we a lot of false positives and at my clinic there were probably 2-3 of every 10 tests that were positive, but IDEXX says that the tests are 99.999% accurate. Whether you mix or not is completely up to you. We mixed our girls 2 years ago. Since cats over the age of 1-2 years of age begin to develop a natural immunity and our negative cat is properly vaccinated the risk of the non-positive contracting FeLV is small. There is still a risk but it is very small. I hope this helps and thanks for taking care of this kitty!!

Re: [Felvtalk] Question re positives negatives
Maureen, this is so comforting! I'm waiting until May 9th (it will be his second test since exposure but only within 2 mos - my vet wants me to wait 3 mos. before she thinks he is safe). I do understand that his chances of contracting it are a lot less than if he were a kitten. I'm so glad he is 2 yrs old. He so misses his companion and longs for another. Another companion would keep him more active. He loved to be chased up and down the stairs and he no longer gets that exercise (he won't let me chase him, imagine that!). I'm still a little worried but not so much like I was. Thanks for all the support from everyone and let's all still pray for Poppy :0) Have a great week!

That is wonderful. I would like to find a plan so my boys can spend time outside. I got Dixie a 10x10x6 kennel for a screened in porch (perfect for a dainty little girl and her Person) but two big boys.? She looks like a very happy, lucky little girl. Bless you.

Re: [Felvtalk] Amber's Kitty Palace
I finally got the pictures. That is a great palace! It gves me ideas for an outdoor room for my pride. It would come in handy during hunting season when I usually keep them inside lest a hunter shoot them for costing him a shot or the mountain lin gets hungry. I have been thinking of building an outside room for them that they could come and go from house to outside thru a cat door.

Re: [Felvtalk] Amber's kitty palace
Amber sounds like my Lil Bit. She spends all day in my bedroom on the bed coming down only to use her box and drink from her wate bowl in the shower. I tried taking her outide and she clung to me and would not get down. She was shaking so that I took her back inside. I got her from Pals (no kill shelter) at the age of 10. Before that se belonged to a pet sitter (who had 23 cats). She had a large chain link fenced area for her cats. I know she took good care of her babies but what happened to Lil Bit before that heaven only knows. Like you say, I wish they could talk, then maybe we could help them overcome their fears.

I can roll it outside but she doesn't really like that. It seems to make her nervous when she is outdoors. Poor thing, I wish she could talk so I could know her story! She is too tame and sweet from the beginning to be a feral cat. Somebody must have just decided they did not want her anymore and basically threw her away.

I have three healthy cats upstairs and I am not willing to take the chance of exposing them to the virus even though they have been vaccinated against felv.
