Re: [Felvtalk] Zombo Please add to the CLS :(

Sherry, Zombo sounds like such a special treasure. I'm crying with you for his loss, and the loss of the way-too-many other SIDS kids who have left you these last couple of weeks. Gentlest of Bridge vibes to every one of them, and hugs to every one of you. Diane R. -Original Message- Fro

THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL!!! we are much, much clearer now - - including other possibilities - - and next moves. ethically as well. Hope has become much more at ease since being taken to the vet and brought "home". She is a talker. Both are now purring. health & laughter, healing & pro

[Felvtalk] Elisa or snap test

Okay, my vet did the 3 way snap in the office with a positive result and I want a re-test. They send the blood to a local vet or lab and do a deep well Elisa. If this deep well Elisa test also has false positives, I will not do it. I can't see wasting money for a possible false positive. I want

Re: [Felvtalk] testing

Those are the same tests. The definitive test is the IFA (has to be sent to a lab). Recommended testing protocol is if the "snap" and IFA are different, test again in 120 days. Unfortunately for most rescues and shelters they don't have a place for keeping possibly positive cats for an addit

I know I have read there is a chance of a false positive with the snap test. I was wondering if the same with the Elisa test? Thank you. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleuk

I agree with Natalie. Wait and re-test. So many other things could be making that noise in Hope's chest and the diarrhea. I think that certain parasites like giardia require a special kind of fecal test, not the normal ones that vets do, so that is definitely a possibility. Stress from being
