[Felvtalk] doubts on two FeLV positive kitties

2011-08-01 Thread Ana Gutierrez
Dear all, It's been a while since I haven't posted to the list. Since my Beltza passed away, last year I am still in debt with you guys for all the support you gave me with her. I cannot remember if I told you that I run a very small cat shelter in Cuernavaca, México, where I live.

My cat Tigger is FeLV Positive and has been for almost 5 years. None of my others are, all vaccinated. They share litter boxes, water bowls and food! They even sleep together! So yes, they can be integrated, as long as the negatives are vaccinated, they do not fight or mate!!

Can you afford to re-test them right now? I'm just wondering if one or maybe both of the tests on the kitties were wrong. I've heard those triple snap test are a little less reliable. Are these adults or kittens? sent from my ATT Smartphone by HTC - Reply message - From: Ana

If the kitties are too young, the tests are also not reliable! -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of molvey...@hotmail.com Sent: Monday, August 01, 2011 6:29 PM To: Ana Gutierrez; felvtalk@felineleukemia.org

IFA is most reliable! Do they use that one in Mexico? -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Ana Gutierrez Sent: Monday, August 01, 2011 6:30 PM To: molvey...@hotmail.com Cc: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org

If I may... The IFA is more expensive, but results are more reliable. My vest advised, If the snap (vet's office) test is positive, you need to do IFA. If the snap is negative, you probably don't need IFA. Good for you for trying to be as sure as you can be. And thank you for helping our
