Question,  is this expensive?  If so will start saving just in case I ever need 
it.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Baby's viral load - good news :)

Hello, Our vet sent a sample of my cousin Tom’s FeLV cat Baby (*) to 
Scanelis in France to determine her viral load –and the news was good! She is 
found to have a very low viral load, 8.77 x 103 per 2.5 microliters of blood 
examined. This is encouraging as, first, it matches her absence of symptoms, 
and it implies that she can have a dental now while she’s still pretty healthy. 
 If Tom can keep her teeth/gums healthy, perhaps stomatitis can be avoided.
Scanelis also noted that in spite of her low viral load, immunosuppressive 
drugs should be avoided. (*Baby stays with us when Tom goes away.)  Thanks, -
