Hi Sue
Here's my take on Buzz's retest : if he looks and acts like a healthy
cat, if he plays and eats as a
healthy cat would, He's a healthy cat !
I've spent the past year nursing a positive, highly symptomatic
kitten to a place where she looks,
acts, eats, and plays like the healthiest cat I've ever known. I've
decided to take her lead and have
made a conscious decision to treat her if she were negative, and that
her positive test was an
anomaly.
I'll continue her wellness regime (the best diet, l-lycine,
FortiFlora, DMG and Thullium met) and her 'bliss
therapy' and if there are any symptoms or set backs, we'll deal with
them.
I think the best thing you can do for Buzz is what you have been
doing. Love and hope and care move
mountains. Apparently Buzz thinks he is healthy and supporting him
seems to be the best strategy.
Long live Buzz!

Hello everyone...
Buzz finally had his test yesterday and it was positive again. My
vet tells me it is very rare for a cat to become negative after the
second test after three months has come back positive. Is that
what everyones experience has been?
The vet also said he seems to be very healthy, so we will count our
blessings.
I tried to put this vets name on the vet list that MaryChristine
gave a link to recently but the site will not let me do anything.
This vet has been very supportive and is willing to learn more
about FeLV+ options.
Thank you to everybody here for all the help and advise you put on
this list. I am pretty new and not very knowledgeable so I don't
participate that much, but I read everything and it helps a lot.
