I posted a couple weeks ago when I first found out about my kittens testing
positive for FELV. Since than I have done a lot of research and have a
much better understanding of what I'm dealing with. They are set to be
tested again in July and if the snap test is positive we will be sending
out
I remember slightly, but don't recall if there was there a mother that was
tested? That should be enough, because if she is FeLV+, the kittens are
definitely positive.
If the kittens are positive again, and then you do the IFA, and it's
negative, it doesn't mean that they are negative, it only
You've got it right. I've immersed myself in FELV for the past 2 weeks and
feel I've got a pretty good grasp and from what I understand what you
stated is correct. Basically I need the snap and IFA test to match..but a
positive snap and negative IFA does NOT mean they are in the clear it may
My experience with 10 FeLV kittens is they will do fine for 1-4 yrs before
showing signs of illness. My rescue kittens were positive initally and stayed
that way. All did fine with s/n - no issues at all. All were active and
loving babies. Thank you for saving these babies

Just had a FIV+/FeLv+ cat retested. He had FIV but he tested negative for
FeLv. He's going into my FIV+ section, not because I think that FIV would be
contagious to my regular cats but because he never lost his male fighting
spirit so let him annoy the FIV's. I do have three FIV+ cats mixed
Most of mine that were born with it lived about 1 1/2 years, but I have one
now. who is well over 2 yrs old.
Like everything else, every cat is different.

*Yes I understand this however if the IFA comes back positive on all 3 its
my understanding they have it..no need to wait 2 months and re-test a
positive IFA means its spread to the marrow. So if we get a positive snap
and negative IFA we will wait another month and test again until 2
confirmed
If the IFA's are positive there is no need for re-testing. It is replicating in
their bone marrow.

But if the IFA is negative again, there's really no need to do another one
to prove or disprove anything - it would only confirm one of two things:
It's still not in the bone marrow, or it's in the bone marrow. If two snap
or ELISA tests were positive, there's no need to wait for anything other
If the IFA is negative you'd want to retest on the Elisa after 3 month to see if they shook the virus.If the IFA is positive there is not need to retest on either the IFA or ELISA. They are definitely positive at that point..Don't Litter, Fix Your Critter!www.Furkids.org From: Natalie
