Kathi, that's so interesting. I have Belfield's Vitamin C, but
haven't consistently used it with that purpose.
Also - I'm wondering where you got Oreo and Ellie. And how did Ellie
infect Oreo? Were they outdoors together, or did you raise them or
what?

My cat, Oreo, also tested a light positive on ELISA and negative 1
month later on IFA. Does this mean that he is definitely negative
and can be with my other cats who tested negative? I hope so
because he's been with them now for about 3 weeks. The others are
vaccinated against FeLV.
He may be negative now because of something called Mega C Plus I
started giving him right away. It was formulated in 1977 by Dr.
Belfield, a veterinarian. He claims hundreds of cats have become
FeLV negative since then. Here's a link that takes you to
information on Mega C Plus that is worth reading: http://

Remember to back off a little if they start getting diarrhea. I
have Ellie on it, too. Her IFA showed it is in her bone marrow;
she infected Oreo. Apparently there is hope for her, too,
according to Dr. Belfield. I, of course, keep her separated from
the others.

Have a 16 yr old black cat that has tested VERY LIGHT positive
TWICE. Her
lifelong buddy has tested neg each time & remains with her. I
have to keep
them caged (large upright). They have an inside cage & a porch
cage.
"Mischief" appears in the best of health, eats great, poops
beautifully &
shows no signs or symptoms of disease or illness.
Would it be safe for me to shut a room at night for them & let
them have
some freedom if I picked up ALL bowls & Litterboxes in the
morning? And what
exactly IS light positive?
Not sure what 'light positive' means. I asked if this was on
Elissa or
IFA
Rita runs a hospice for senior cats many of whom have various med
problems so she is concenred about exposing their already
compromised immune
systems to FELV and exposing the FELV cat to other diseases
.
Any ideas?
I can tell you what light positive is. ""Light positives" are
where the
treated blood only changes color slightly. This means your cat is
infected
with the virus, but the virus is not very active in its system."
From http://www.fanciers.com/other-faqs/FeLV.shtml
My kitten was "light positive" on Elissa. She later tested
negative.
