Neil, I have not had this happen, but feel this is a good thing. So many vets just chalk up illnesses to FeLV if a cat tests positive (and many times, the tests can be wrong), and then give up on treating the actual illness because they have such a negative view of FeLV. Now you guys can focus

I doubt he has seroconverted, especially if he is still having anemia and other problems. I would not do another FeLV test, at least not now. I think that cats who seroconvert usually do so a little while after contracting the virus, but I am not sure. Michelle In a message dated

Kerry,I wouldn't bother retesting for the felv either. I don't think a bone marrow can be false positive.It was interesting that with my first positive, CC, her Elisa tests were very quick, dark, results when she first got sick. After immunoregulin, interferon, holistic supplements,
