Thanks Elizabeth. I was kind of afraid that would be true. I do want to use what's accurate. Nest, Pat

In fact, I didn't realize they were marketing it at this point. I can't quote percentages or remember where I came across that in my reading - perhaps some of those more expert on the list will add what they know. elizabeth *Save the earth.

Hopefully today is better for computer time. We have a number of feral cats on which we need to determine Felv status, therefore we are looking for in-home test kits. I searched the archives of FelvTalk but got myself really confused (not unusual). I notice on line that different in-home kits are available (Revival even carries two). Of course what I want is reliability. So my big question: is the saliva test as reliable as the blood test for diagnosing Felv? Does anyone have a recommendation of brand and source? I would deeply appreciate advice from others who know more than I (which is almost nothing!).
