Unless you are going to do anything
differently depending on the test result – I would also suggest that you
wait to test –it’s just stressful for them, and, it’s more
for our satisfaction purpose than for their own benefit sometimes if you know what
I mean –
I took Ginger for re-testing a few months
ago, because she was doing so well and I had a feeling that she is not
positive anymore – and she was – but she was so stressed out from
the vet visit and took a while for her to get back in normal –
I personally think that a good time to do
testing (not necessary the virus testing, but complete body function testing)
is when they are not well – then at least you can find out what’s
wrong or what you can do to help them feel better.

I personally wouldn't bother testing anymore. At least not
anytime real soon. I hope Pekoe continues to do well!

We're taking Pekoe to the vet tomorrow just for a
check-up and some "baseline" blood work. He had blood work done
back in Feb. when he had the bout with Hemobart and tested FelV+.
I'm still a little "confused" by
everything I've read about FelV. Pekoe was approx. 15 - 16 mos. old when
he tested positive - both the ELISA test and the confirmatory IFA test.
Right now, he's appears healthier than before the Hemobart. My
question is, would there be any point to having him retested (ELISA and/or
IFA)? Am I correct in that if he tested positive on the IFA, then he's
always going to be positive? I'm not thinking that he may be negative
now, but just wondered if he should be retested (for whatever reason)?
