I'm so glad to hear Pekoe is doing so well. How is everyone adjusting

when I sit down. It's really hit my husband hard, besides Ursula, (

Thank you for the info. I'm going to the vet tomorrow so I'm going to ask about it. I'm in the south, and although my cats don't go outside, mosquitoes occasionally get inside, and heartworm in dogs is a HUGE problem here.

Tonya,
I didn't know there was a heartworm test either! They did a blood test that will take from 1-7 days (I guess they run 2 tests on it). There was an article in our paper that heartworm is particularly bad this year, and since he came in from outside, we wanted to be sure. It was marked in h
I thought this was talking about false positives for fiv?? I'd like to see that article too. If it were true it seems like someone would have heard??

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 th
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
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

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 anym

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

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

That is great about the Transfer Factor! Thinking about your little guy! Does anyone know where I can buy TF for Tom?

Title: RE: nutrition info
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
Gypsy should be congratulated too! She's finally started to put on
weight and for the first time, I don't feel like I'm on death-watch with
her anymore.

You are absolutely right, it doesn't really matter much what the test
results say, I'll take care of him the best I know how anyway. You do

Hi Everyone,
I just mentioned my Timmy to Michelle L. He's the one that miraculously
tested negative, (remember the big debate over PCR testing to determine
if FeLV is sequestered in bone marrow?). Anyway, as you know, my
household and feral colony has been fighting some sort of bug lately.
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
including feLV -
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 don't think you "have" to wait 30 days, but unless you have some
idea of when the cat was exposed, a positive test may mean
nothing--just as a negative may not, for that matter--80% of healthy
