Pippin tested negative on her IFA test for FeLV and FIV. We waited 22 weeks between the first test (ELISA) test and the IFA. The vet says shefeels confident in the resultsforseveral reasons: becausePippin was 7 weeks old when she had her first test and she was a faint positive on the ELISA at that
I would personally recommend that you wait
to spay her for a little longer I dont know how long she is.. but
unless its absolutely critical she does (i.e. she is pregnant already),
I really need to ask you to wait for a several different reasons.. especially,
now she is tested negative
Hi Hideyo,How old do you think Pippin should be before I get her spayed? She will be 7 months old on the 25th of this month. I don'twant to rush her, but I didn't know if I should do it before she starts going into heat? Your advice is very much appreciated :)Gina Hideyo Yamamoto [EMAIL
Gina,
Congrats on the negative test!!! Yea!!! I think the
anesthetic you are talking about is ISO gas, but
someone here might correct me. Also, fluids before,
during, and after the spay more specifically. The vet
will tell you to confine her for a few days, so your
room might be a great idea.
Hooray! Congratulations on the neg IFA result! I haven't been able to
keep up on the list and just read the entire thread. I suspect, since
you had Pippin tested at 7 weeks that the faint pos was from her
mother's antibodies and not really an felv infection at all. She's
been healthy and
