Dear Susan:
The fact the kittens tested a faint positive (an ELISA, right?) is probably
an indication of exposure and some virus present (both the ELISA and IFA
detect anitgen from replicating virus) but may still be an earlier stage of

Her doctor's concern is probably over the danger of the cats shedding

all she has to do is bring them to the vet and find out if they have the
