There *is* such a thing as "light positive", though I've never been able to pin down what it means, even after having a kitten test light pos.
Protocol is not to test again immediately, though, it is to wait 6 weeks, then test. Then if pos again test w/IFA. I've never heard the term "more positive" - generally it is light pos, pos or neg. I don't say this often, but I am almost going to say this would be worth a complaint to the veterinary board. If I brought in a dying cat for treatment and they wasted time testing her, I'd be livid. I have no idea if she could have been saved or not of course. But in my opinion the treatment you got was inexcusable. When I take cats to the ER they take me seriously and start treating them right away. On 5/8/07, Deana K. Wagoner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Here is the next bit of info on my situation - My husband went by the vet office to pay the bill for the "service" provided on the stray mama that died from the dog inflicted injuries. The vet was not at all happy that we were not bringing the kittens to her to be put to sleep - since she is confident they are all positve and will die. (she has never seen them) The vet now says the first test on the dying mother was "slightly postive" so she ran it again and it was "More positive." Is there such thing as slightly positive or is it just yes or no? I will never know if the mama cat was beyond treatment for sure, but I do know that the test was done about 4 hours after I left her there and no treatment or exam was done before that. The most important item on the list was this test. We are looking for another vet. Deana
