Re: [Felvtalk] pleasehelp
The decision is not an easy one. She is just about due to deliver and you need to consider the risk to her, as well as kittens, of an abortion at this stage. But you should know a few things about FIV: . The male cat would not likely have given her FIV when he got her pregnant-deep bite wounds are the most common form of transmission . Even if your cat was FIV positive, she would not pass it on to her kittens. Virus does not cross placenta barrier . However, kittens born to an FIV pos mom oftentimes test positive for FIV. They get their mom's antibodies and since test used relies on presence of antibodies, they'll show as positive. NO new kittens can ever have FIV but it may be many months before their mom's antibodies leave their system and during those months they'll test positive . Cats who are vaccinated for FIV always test positive (again because test looks for antibodies)-not a particularly effective vaccine & the risk of the cat being mislabeled as FIV pos is too great From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of quinn gardner Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 1:30 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] pleasehelp Hi i have just found out tht my cat is pregnant 8.5wks to a stray that tested positive for feline aids i was due to have her fixed but was a little to late as she is 8mths now.

Re: [Felvtalk] pleasehelp
In the past 19 years of cat rescue, I must have taken care of at least one FIV+ mother each year, if not more! Some mothers were so far along with their illness, with the stress of being pregnant, giving birth, trying to provide for kittens, that they soon died after nursing them. Others stayed with me forever, some were adopted, lived a long and happy, healthy life. Kittens were spot-checked only, because all kittens born to FIV+ mothers would show to be "somewhat" positive (a small blue dot on the large area that would turn blue for an adult positive cat). As their immune systems develop, they shed it completely! For some kittens it can take a month, to some a little longer - not a single kitten, EVER, was FIV+. There's also no indication that your cat mother cat is positive - was she tested, and when? If she were tested too soon after exposure, she would be negative, but that doesn't mean that sometime in the future, she wouldn't be positive. It all depends on the timing. Just make sure that she gets plenty of good quality food, good supplements, especially now and while nursing kittens. I find that pregnant cats can eat about 2-3 cans a day, and that increases to 4 cans a day when they are nursing. I cannot believe your vet FIV has been around for so long, it's inexcusable that there's so much misinformation. In NY City, they just killed 3 5-week old kittens that "tested positive for FIV" - who are these people?

Re: [Felvtalk] pleasehelp
There is NO WAY these kittens need to be aborted if it is FIV - not even if he was FeLV+ ! Way too late to do it safely for momma and each kitten would have to be killed individually. This vet has some very questionable ideas They should be find, momma should be fine. Get her 'fixed' after the kittens are weaned.

Re: [Felvtalk] pleasehelp
Please DO NOT WORRY - if she or "husband" are FIV+, the kittens will be just fine! Your vet knows NOTHING about FIV! It's a lot different than FeLV I can guarantee that they will be fine. DO NOT ABORT THIS LATE - each baby has to be taken out and killed! I don't have time to write now, but I can e-mail you personally later, if that's OK! I have had dozens of FIV mothers whose babies were ALL fine!
