[Felvtalk] Good News - Successful Multi-Cat House!

2009-03-31 Thread Maria Ianiro
I recently had Brady re-tested for felv, 3 1/2 months after we brought
our felv+ kitten into the same household.  Brady tested negative on
the snap test! The vet told us as long as we keep up with his
boosters, he should be fine. We will not test again for felv.

Brady was 1 year 3 months when he began living with our felv+ kitten.
Brady did have a felv vaccination when he was a kitten.  They have
separate food bowls, but they share everything else.  They also like
to groom each other (which I try to stop when I see it, but I'm sure
they do it when I am not around)

I very glad we decided to keep them both together!

My friend Ellen has done the same thing, several years ago. One kitten was
FELV+, the other not.  They retested and nothing had changed.  The kitties are
now over 3 years old, the FELV cat is on Interferon alpha, and both kitties are
doing fine.   Yeaa.
