Re: [Felvtalk] feline leuk
I believe you should wait till they are 5 months old to test them - If the mother is positive then the kittens will have the antibodies from the mother to protect them hopefully …. and if tested too soon they will also test positive. Maybe as soon as it seems fair and they can eat on their own they should be separated, not to cause more risk from them catching the virus . Once the antibodies start to descrease this is the time to vaccinate… > On 14 Jun 2016, at 01:54, Roxanne Smith wrote: > > Hi all, I am in a rescue group, and one of our mommas came back as "slightly" > positive per the vet, I must say that confuses me as the test was a combo > test...

Re: [Felvtalk] help /advice - testing age of kittens
Thank you Lorrie, “ Snuggles “ is very healthy and doesnt seem to have any sort off illness , just eats alot but I have seen how the virus is so silent and then just takes over them.

[Felvtalk] help /advice - testing age of kittens
Hi , I live in spain in a very rural are & last year I lost 2 cats who were felv + , they were not in contacted with my house cats but one of them ( 9yrs old ) is latent positive DNA with a low reading of the virus , I did a quantative pcr , he was negative in the elisa test and I was told that he is not contagious . my other 2 cats are vacinated against fel. my question ….. As I see yourselves are up to date with all the latest things - someone left a kitten on my wall just before christmas - he is now been in “ quarantine” for 5 weeks , he is about 4months old , I need to test him but when is the right time to test kittens as I have read many article re: the anitbodies of the mother so a kitten can test false positive. I am keen to know , as he is on his own and hopefully he will be negative so I then can vaccinate him as I am also told that, are they any special test to do this , I dont want to do the basic snap test and I am happy to do the elisa and a pcr test. Hope you can help me , here in the area a live in which is very rural ,lots of ferral cat the vets just give up on felv + , so I dont wont to ask my vet until I am up to date with all the information. thank you anna ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
