Hello all,
I have been doing rescue in Texas for a little less than a year now.
I had a couple of litters come from the local animal control that were
too young to be tested.
I took one litter in to get them spayed/neutered/tested yesterday. I
only had one tested, and she tested light

I would. I don't think it would hurt anything. See what the vet says. In my opinion though, if they test negative and are not sick I would vaccinate.tonya[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message -From: catatonya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Date: Friday, June 9, 2006 11:57 amSubject: Re:
Hi Kelley,
A light pos indicates that a cat has been exposed to felv. It doesn't
necessarily mean she'd test pos the next time. She could either be in
the process of clearing the virus, in which case the next time she's
tested, she will test neg, or it might even be a false pos. It's like

Esp since there is the threat of felv in your house, I'd vac any cats
that test neg for it. Many people are concerned about vac, (with many
good reasons, the possibility of vaccine-related carcinomas, being one
of them), but imo it is still worth the risks in this case. How old

We're back from the
vet's with another good report. Mama Kittyjust had her last
treatment of Acemannan and one more vitamin B12 shot. She's gained more

weighed when I first took her in for treatment. She still
Please understand that FeLV is not like the flu or even a cold...it
can't be spread via the air...direct, prolonged contact is needed, and,
even then, it is still very hard for a healthy adult (over 6 months old)
to become infected. I've personally mixed my positive and negative cats
for nearly 4

Aww Kelley, I'm sorry. We really can relate to what you're going
through. It is devastating news to hear someone in your care has
tested pos. You're right, you don't know exactly what you're up
against yet. Why not try to expect the best instead of the worst? Our
words and visualizations DO
Thanks for sharing the good news Elizabeth! Hooray for MK! I love
hearing about yet another vet that has had an attitude adjustment when
it comes to felv! Good for you and good for him. Give Mama Kitty a
head bump from me and a great big hug to you!

A lot of us were in your situation (fostering with a shelter/rescue) when we found out one of our fosters was positive. I went through a terrible time because my own cats' shots were not 'up to date'. It was Christmas and my vet was telling me to get the positive cat out of my house NOW! It was

Hello,
It seems to depend on who you ask. The longest I've seen for time
between departure of an FeLV+ and bringing other cats in is thirty
days, but the general consensus is several days. The point I've
seen made is that any feleuk virus in the environment usually dies
