[Felvtalk] Light positive reading

[Grant, Mary A.]

Did you do anything special? We have a year old that was felv+ from birth. Have been giving her interferon since we found out. So far so good, but I always want to see what else we can do to keep her healthy.

This is unrelated, but I just got really happy news. We did a full blood work up on my felv + guy, and his everything is perfect and normal! Very relieved

Many years ago (early 80's I think), I had a cat that supposedly showed a faint positive.  The vet thought maybe it was a mistake, and a later test turned up negative.  I have heard that it is always a mistake, and I have also heard the theory that a cat is fighting off the infection. Anybody want to contact a manufacturer?

I’d like to know more about this as well. I was told that Ember was a “weak positive” at her first test. She definitely had the virus (subsequent ELISAs were positive, and CBCs seemed to back those up in showing immunosuppression).

Hi guys,

Long ago I learned from this list, there is no such thing as light positive reading.  It indicates an error with the test.  I don't have documentation to back this up, can anyone help?
