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

I have had a lot of success with adult cats who threw off the virus in about 2

been actually positive. Since their immune system is not fully developed, they
might not throw off the virus as soon as adults. Too bad ab

Hello Pam,
Yes, they did share everything for 10 years up until a month ago when we
found out that the other one is positive. That is actually the biggest
mystery - the 2 other cats never got infected. The doctor did say that we
should test them again every 6 months.

My Bailey lived with his housemates from the time he was 5
months old (tested positive then) until he passed of cancer at age 11
years, they slept, ate, groomed and on occasion had little spats, none
of his vaccinated housemates ever became positive. I had them tested
intermittently and
Lynda, you wrote that Crash was FeLeuk negative last November. Did you
mean positive? Or had he been positive prior to this?

Sharon,
What about grooming? I would assume that those cats, having lived
together for 10 years, would mutually groom. That's sharing bodily
fluids & I would think would be potentially harmful to the negative ones.

Pam,
I've done a lot of research myself and I asked my vet many questions. Here
is a link that was very helpful to me and I had my vet review this in case
she had a difference of opinion. This is very accurate information. I think
it will answer many of your questions. Here is the link:

Hello Pam,
My 3 cats have been living together for 10 years now until my boy-cat was
just recently diagnosed with FeLV. He may have contracted it 2 years ago
when he ran outside and got into a fight with another cat. We had the 2
other girl-cats tested and they're both negative. We had the 2 ot

My vet says I sould keep my negatives up to date on their felv vaccinations.
It has been over 2 years now since I got my first felv pos baby and all are
well, especially the felv pos ones. They are the sleekest, most energetic ones
in the bunch. Annie especially has the shiniest fur and the v
Maureen, I don't have links to the science to answer your question. I do know
there are at least 3 versions of FeLV. Personally I wouldn't take the chance
of mixing without 1st vaccinating any negatives in the house. I have mixed
negatives and positives but my negatives were always current on
I think that they are immune for life if they get and extinguish the virus. I
do not believe that it is a mutating virus of any sort, at least not so far.
The problem is you have no way of knowing for sure that you cat did this unless
it was positive and is now negative. Cats develop some natura
