We picked her up today at the sanctuary & she is now in her new home!
Meanwhile this past week, the results of the IFA test came back -
NEGATIVE! Her Elisa snap test about a bit ago was positive. As I
understand it, the next test in about 30-60 days should be an Elisa lab
test & then another IFA. Is this correct?
While we were at the sanctuary, the family also fell in love with
another Siamese, Coco, in the FeLeuk room. That kitty has tested
positive on the snap test but has never had an IFA. The sanctuary
owner wanted them to have her too but I said NO. We don't know her
status well enough. Sending her home with Eleanor would be entirely too
risky for Eleanor at this point. I told her to get Coco IFA tested at
least.
So I have two questions:
1. At this point Eleanor has tested positive on the Elisa snap test &
negative shortly thereafter on the IFA test. Just what does this mean
for her & what should be next?
2. Am I right in refusing to let Coco come with Eleanor? Is there any
possibility that she could at some point & if so, what would it take?
Please do tell me what to do at this point. My first concern is for Eleanor.
Incidentally Coco has NOT been in the FeLeuk room up there very much
since the other cats don't like her, so she has been pretty much
isolated from them
