Hi all,
I've never dealt with FeLV; this is a little confusing to me (ok, a LOT
confusing).
We have a new kitty that we are adding to our currently one cat home. When
he came to my home at 6 months old, he appeared extremely healthy except for
multiple cutaneous horns on his front footpads.

As you said no test is 100% accurate, the IFA is the better test.
The hard part, is your almost certainly not going to know when
a cat was exposed so the accuracy of the test is always going to be
questionable. A cat that tests positive may still be in the stage of
trying to fight the virus

I've mixed it with gruel and dosed it with a syringe in the batch of FeLV kittens I have in rescue right now. Works like a charm. I probably won't bother even trying to mix with wet food and offer it to them free choice as I hate the idea of them refusing and seeing it go to waste.
Good luck!
I mix the mega C in wet food and no rescue has ever refused it
Karen
NO, in house tests are commonly wrong to begin with.. and for true test results
on
kittens from a positive momma, they need to be at least 6 months old when
tested.
Then retest at 9 months and at one year before making any decisions. Confirm all
tests with IFA if you can afford it, but at least
? Would test results
going from positive(at their young age) to a negative in a couple of months be
really possible or highly unlikely? Do most kittens born to positive mothers
ultimately end up positive also? Thanks for listening.
May be its mistaken with FIV
vaccinations as what you said does happen with FIV vaccinations.
