Get your precious little girl vaccinated for FeLV. Don't put your boy down. It is hardly necessary. I'm always shocked when vets still feel that way--that is old thinking! Just because he tests positive for FeLV doesn't mean he will get sick right away. My kitty Mamie lived for ten

My Pippin tested positive on the ELISA test at 6 weeks of age. She tested negative on the IFA test at 6 months of age. While waiting for the second test, I fed her Innova Evo wet and dry food, gave her 500 grams of Lysine per day in her wet food, provided lots of love and low stress. My vet

I am so relieved to hear that you did not kill your boy, Basil -- I used the word kill - because if he was put him down, it's so far away from being euthanized -- there is no reason for him to be killed - and he is lucky to have you, and have your wisdom on his side as apparently your vet is

Basil has an excellent chance of throwing off the virus IF he picked it up from your kitten. The problem is that if you only tested him once as a kitten he could have been positive all along. Either way, the fact that he's 4 years old means that he has a good chance of living a long life even

Malone, I'm overjoyed to hear you didn't listen to the vet. I agree-change vets! I had the same thing happen to me. I rescued a beautiful boy, and the vet suggested since he was FeLV + to put him down. He was so healthy, happy, and energetic; I just couldn't imagine doing that. How horrible.

Thank you for the advice. I know he got it from the kitten. He had two tests both negative when he came in the home. He was tested when I picked him up from the humane society and then he was retested when Teaser was retested. They both had two tests before 1 year of age and that was when I
