70% of healthy adult cats can process the virus out of their systems, so a positive test may only be an indication that a kitty has recently been exposed.... because so many cats can be exposed and still "get over it," retesting is vital, and a single positive test should never be accepted as final in an asymptomatic cat, and quite probably not in a symptomatic one, either!
and this is WELL DOCUMENTED IN THE LITERATURE, and any vet who doesn't know it should have his license revoked! there is no excuse for willful ignorance. On 3/7/07, Kelley Saveika <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
