Definitely get the IFA test. My vet ordered one for my kitty incase he may need it, so it's not impossible for your vet not to get one for you. I know if it were me and did not get the IFA, and the cat showed symptoms later, I would never forgive myself.

Re: [Felvtalk] Collars
Why not have fencing on concrete? I would think that would prevent anything from digging under the fence. I can see putting it below ground level so nothing digs under. You also need to put a row of shingles over the wire. When the racons, etc start digging, they run into the shingles and stop digging. I planned on using 1/4" hardware cloth. That is what I use to keep possums and rcoons out of my "vegie" pots. Chicken wire they just ly on and pull the tomatoes up so they can eat at their leisure.

Re: [Felvtalk] Your Opinion would be GREATLY appreciated
Wow, that's great news that she's tested negative. I'm so happy for you. For my own peace of mind, I would insist on an IFA test before integrating her into my household. If your vet won't do it, there's probably another vet around who will.

If you are worried about exposing your negative cats to FELV, then I would insist on the IFA, then you would not be second guessing yourself all the time and still have that worry in the back of your mind.

[Felvtalk] Clarfing FIV Vax Re: FeLV vaccine
There is a FIV vax. The issue is any cat who the FIV vaccine will show up positive on any future FIV/FeLV ELISHA test. Any cat who gets the FIV vax should also be microchipped so the owners can clarify the cat is NOT FIV positive just vaccinated.

[Felvtalk] FeLV in Bone Marrow not in Blood
My 1 year kitten was diagnosed with FeLV back in Oct. She has never tested positive with either blood test, only with bone marrow aspiration after she got real sick at 20 weeks of age. As of now she is showing no signs of FeLV, just a low normal blood test. To look at her you would and the way she plays you would not even know she had FeLV. Questions are: Can a cat clear FeLV from the bone marrow? Could FeLV just stay in the bone marrow and never go to her blood? Can a cat expect to live a long life as long as the FeLV never moves from the bone marrow? If she stays well should we think about getting another bone marrow aspiration since the FeLV never been in the blood? Right now she on interferon 1 week on 1 week off. She off all other drug as she doing so well. Vet does not want to take her off the interferon ever.

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV vaccine
Lynda, I recently had 2 of my cats vax'd for felv...make sure the vax doesn't have an adjuvant...they are known to possibly cause a sarcoma at the injection site...The brand was Merial, and it is 'PUREVAX Recombinant Leukemia Vaccine and the VET *JET* transdermal. I have one cat who has reactions to the vax, so I am particularly careful about vaccines (he does not get the shots anymore, but the others do). Also, I have been told the vaccine takes 2 weeks to be fully effective. Tracey ** On Fri, May 27, 2011 at 1:39 PM, Lynda Wilson wrote: > My vet is out of town.
