[Felvtalk] Positive to negative

[Lance]

Thanks for bringing Leuk’s up here. I’ve friended them on FB and will look into them more.

They really care, and Dr. Jen (the vet behind Crash's) has pulled off some miracles on injured and ill rescues.

>> Thank you, everyone.  I'm still trying to catch the mother cat from the park and am worried about her status.  When I catch her I'll get her tested myself.  But positive or negative, I don't have room for another cat.  I found out about the park from my husband.  The conversation started, "I don't want another cat.  If I told you I know where there's a mother cat and kittens, where could they go?"  I had to find someplace to take them before he showed me where they were.  The local humane society changed management last year.  They are now no kill except for FIV and FeLV.  Before that they killed everything.  The shelter I used to work with also changed management, but that one was for the worse.

>> Both my husband and I have health issues.  Taking in another cat is not an option.  Is anyone from the group in Michigan?  I'm in St. Clair County.  There are 2 rescues on the west side of the state that take FeLV+ cats, but both are full.

>> Current thinking seems to be that the odds of a regressive infection resulting in FeLV-related disease is “unlikely”. This is according to the 2008 AAFP Retrovirus Guidelines. Focal infections where the virus is restricted to certain tissues are rare, and these infections also seem unlikely to result in FeLV-associated disease.
