I'm glad Nebs is better. And yes it is common for a cat to test positive and
then test negative. It could be due to recent exposure.

Hi Lori,
Thanks so much for posting your story about Nebs. Thank goodness you
were strong enough to follow your heart and not take the advice of your
vet! Hopefully your story will help educate your vet, (is this your
ex-vet now?), and save more lives in the future. I would suggest that
Run and find a new vet!!! Your current one is not up
to date on FeLV. You can get a good idea of which vet
might be up to date by calling some vets in your area
and asking them personally over the phone what their
philosophy is on treating FeLV. Thank God for Nebs
you did not listen to your
I am SO glad Nebs is better and that you weren't victims of the bad
information you received. I hope very much that you can find a good vet.

My cat tested positive, negative. False positives are *very* common.
Some cats do get over it, and
70% of healthy adult cats can process the virus out of their systems, so a
positive test may only be an indication that a kitty has recently been
exposed because so many cats can be exposed and still get over it,
retesting is vital, and a single positive test should never be accepted as
final
Cats get sick all the time. Getting sick doesn't have anything to do with
FELV. When a human gets a cold, we don't assume they have AIDS and refuse to
give them any cold medicine, do we? The same applies to cats. FELV is far,
far, far, way totally far, from the ONLY thing that can lead to illness
That's a great analogy, Phaewryn...

Hi, Bonnie,
How was Henry Lee when you first found him? He was three years
