Hi,I wanted to share a little of what my husband and I are going through as we are in a similar situation to yours. We areawaiting the second test forour kitten Pippin. She will be 16 weeks old when she hasthe secondFeLV test on August 18th. We were not sure what we were going to do when
Sounds like a plan. Just remember that your cats that test negative now could test positive later. It takes a whild for the virus to grow (or whatever) enough to test positive. Your Bob looks a lot like mine my Bob is better known as 'fat cat bob'.tGina WN [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hi there,
I would not euthanize a cat because they tested positive, unless they
are very ill and suffering.
You may want to try finding a more enlightened vet.
I had a kitten come up light positive awhile ago. She was negative
the next time I had her tested. There are no guarantees this
Thanks to the two people who have responded so far! Thanks for the words of encouragement. I do have a question..both of my other cats had their booster shots as kittens...but, is this FELV vaccine something they should be getting every year? I was told that since they are indoor cats, the only
I have been on this list for a few years and I can tell you that you have come to the right place for expert answers about felv. Young kitten can throw off the virus and test negative. If she is healthy now I wouldn't even consider euthanasia. Many of us here have Cats who live long and healthy

Hello and welcome!
I'm very glad you listened to your heart and didn't euthanize.
Your baby may throw off this virus yet -- and even if she doesn't,
chances are that she may have a good quality of life and even live a
long time! Some FeVL+ cats
never present symptoms. There is a lot you can do

Welcome!
I've only been on this board a little over a month, so I don't have a lot of practical advice to give you. I can tell you that my kitten was diagnosed at 6 months after being sick off and on from the time I got her at 4 months. The vet believes she contracted it from her mother. I went

Thank Goodness you didn't listen to that vet! How ridiculous is that,
to not want to waste time on a kitten, that doesn't happen to be
showing symptoms, but will most likely be sick sometime down the road?!
What exactly did he go to vet school for? I hate to think about vets
like that out
Maggie,Thanks so much for your message! By reading all the responses on here, I now know that I made the right decision by not allowing the vet to euthanize Angel. I kept telling my mom how I couldn't live with myself if I allowed a kitten with no symptoms to be killed. Angel is such a sweet

Hi,Kittens often fight off the virus. If your cats have never been tested they could have given it to her actually. My advice would be to vaccinate everyone and then retest in 3 months to see if anyone is truly negative. At that point I would only vaccinate the negatives.The virus is not
