It's getting closer to the time for Pippin to have her second FeLV test. I want to make sure I understand which test to ask for. Is the IFA test the same as the Western Blot?If not, which test should I ask for? Secondly, is there a specific lab that I should ask for the test to be sent to in

Hi Sherry,I knew for 12 years that he was FIV+. I met Buddy in 1988 and he was a street cat. I officially adopted him as an indoor kitty in 1991. The vet thought he was around 4-6 years old at that time. I had him tested at that time (in 1991) and retested when I adopted Tigger and Taylor in 1992.

I thought so too Phaewryn. I was shocked and then I laughed after I got off the phone. Yes, they did the blood (ELISA) test. But did they do it correctly? After she looked up what an IFA test was, she said that "their lab" processed them. They have an in-house lab for the IFA test?? I'm all
