Hello, We rescued a stray kitten, and he is felv positive. He is approximately 9 months old. He is quarantined. His blood work is perfect. He is not exhibiting any other felv symptoms. We treated him for giardia, and tests show he is cured of that. We treated him with doxycycline for 4

Hi Nancy She could definitely be a carrier. I wouldn’t be concerned as long as her blood work is okay. Keep a close eye on her gums, inside of the ears, and pads to watch for any paleness which might signify anemia. I don’t think she NEEDS any help right now, but you might consider trying her

Hello,  My girl is 4 years old and has had FeLV for 3 years.  We took in a kitten 3 years ago who tested negative for it.  The two were together after that and 6 months later, I found out the negative was false.  The kitten was actually a positive.  When I tested my other girl, she also had it.

Thank you, Christine. So far Baby has been only in the studio, completely isolated, when she visits us. It never occurred to me to do otherwise, not only because of felv but to avoid other contagious illnesses as well. It typically takes us months to merge new cats into our setting. We go

My advice would be to keep FeLv and non-FeLv cats separated. If you choose not to, you have to understand there is a chance the non-FeLv cats could get infected. Having said that, when my husband brought home a kitten that tested positive for FeLV, I had to make that choice. We live in a small

I had my Zander for seven years, mixed with a dozen other cats. I never took any precautions at all. It was too late by the time we figured out he had FeLV. No other cat ever got the infection. Amani From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Lorraine Johnston

Thank you. I guess I should have phrased my question to indicate that I was concerned about spreading FeLV to my non-FeLV cats. If I understand correctly, your cats are, or were, all FeLV-positive, so there would not have been any non-FeLV cats to spread it to? I told my cousin back in
