Re: [Felvtalk] 2nd opinion
I am happy for you my friend. The IFA test is much more reliable than the snap test. I am still working on that email. I have fallen way behind in my interpersonal correspondence.

[Felvtalk] 2nd opinion
last sunday (yes sunday, easter sunday-they are open 7 days a week with no extra charges on the weekend) to a vet. i think i mentioned them, they seem pretty knowledgeble with treating frlv from what i had seen on their web page. anyway, the vet didn't seem to think my cat was positive due to the fact he was indoors 24/7 and an adult and because he looked healthy. she said at most he might just be a carrier but wanted to retest him. she gave him an injection for his vomiting (which she says may have been caused by the baytil which he had just finished a 2 week course of it) and put him on pepsin for a week.anyway, she called with sports results of the ifa test. this certainly has been an experience, one i could have very well done without. but it is said there is a reason for everything. maybe what i have learned will come in handy in the future. i don't know.perhaps i should get a third opinion but i'm stopping with the second one. the vet said the results came back negative. needless to say, i cried tears of joy. if the first vet actually ran an ifa like he said he did and actually did get a positive, then sport has beaten the odds of .3% my heart goes out to the rest of you. i can only hope that the future will bring a cure for this disease. it is nothing a cat or cat owner should have to endure. ;p33309544 ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
