Actually, Wellness has a "lite" dry food and I think also wet foods. It is
a good brand. My positive Jo got really fat at one point and I switches her to
that. She got lymphoma shortly afterwards, though, so I started feeding her
whatever she wanted at that point. I don't think the food
Dear Susan:
According to Dr. Pitcairn, in his book Natural Health for Dogs and Cats,
there are six stages of infection for FeLV. He indicates that cats are not
actively shedding the virus and infectious to other cats until they have
reached
stage five or six. Stage five is the point at
There was an article in NYTimes recently about a project to map feline DNA.
Rationale is the similarities between FIV HIV viruses. While this may not
bode well as far as research being done on cats, it might ultimately lead to
more understanding of these viruses

Does anyone know how invasive it is to do
bone marrow level testing on FeLV?
Well I am not sure if I am really
going to pursuit or not but if I
catch Gingers mama, I think I want to try to keep her in stead of releasing
her (she is a feral kitty) she looks really good, but if she tested
negative on FeLV, I feel that I need to know if she is really negative as I
No, I would never do anything to make them
go through something so painful and that was the purpose of my
question, I did not know if its painful for a kitty or not to go
through.
If I ever catch her, I would keep her whether
she is positive or negative on anything for that matter
Well, that is good, I am sorry to have jumped a little, but I can not stand people who want perfection...sick kitties need love too...
I would definatetly not get the test, if the blood work comes up negative, and you suspect something just keep testing, it has to get in the blood sometime.
Cherie, please dont worry I

like you some up who fights and stands up for kitties with special

It just sounds very painful, and even putting them out for a short period of time and waking them back up, I am convinced this is what caused my Snowballs attack.

I agree that I would not put a cat out for any length of time unless
necessary (they said it was necessary to determine Simon's chemo treatment), but
it is a small needle and they are out and I really do not think it caused any
pain with Simon. I am not saying I would do it for an FeLV

But.how do you know that none of your other cats is already carrying it in their bone marrow? If a cat has been in a shelter, been in the wild, been in a home with many cats. chances are it has at sometime been exposed..

I had it done on one of my cats. This was years ago though. (at least 10) I don't think they had the IFA test then even. I think they put him to sleep. Whatever they did, they did not let me see, so I have no idea how much, if any it hurt him.

Most of my cats were never been at a
shelter, I trapped them directly from each colony, and I have been taking care
of them for the past few years
I sort of know which colony has which virus as you do see a sort of
pattern, but I guess I will not know for sure of anything
No. One can never know for sure. I didn't say that to scare you. It's just how I've come to think of it in my situation. All my cats are rescues. They all tested negative, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone had it sequestered and came up positive in the future. I think if they were going to
Thats absolutely true!
