Re: felv-fiv slight positive 3 week old kittens

I assume they did the combined FIV/FeLV test, right?  If they tested positive for both, the FIV test is pretty much worthless - way too young for a true positive - and they may shed the FeLV in a few months. Just about everyone suggests lysine but I haven't heard anything about giving it to kittens that young.  If someone else on the list knows if it's ok to give it to them I would be interested just for my own future reference.   Gary  ----- Original Message ----- From: Lori To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 2:48 PM Subject: felv-fiv slight positive 3 week old kittens Help!  Does anyone know what can be done for felv-fiv kittens at 3 weeks of age so far as WESTERN OR CHINESE HERBS are concerned?  These little 2 little guys are strays that I had tested 2 days ago.  The local SPCA will euthanize if I turn them in and they test positive there.  I had planned on retesting them at the vets office in 2 to 3 weeks.   I cannot keep these little babies due to allergies in my family so they will need to be adopted out once weaned.  I am currently bottle feeding them KMR kitten formula.   Any help would be appreciated!   lori
