I continue to be really worried.  She is so very thin and eats almost nothing.  She IS eating, just not much at all.  I have gotten some AD and am going to try to syringe it to her.

  Lorrie, 

  Yes, I would agree it is very difficult.  Unfortunately very difficult does not mean impossible.  That's my problem. I  have no more kittens.  I have a young adult cat who was born 1/7/13 who has been combo tested negative and vaccinated along with all the other cats.

    Kelley,
    -
    My vet told me it is very difficult for FelV cats to give the virus
    to other adult cats. It is a different story with kittens who are
    very susceptible, as their immune systems are not fully developed.
    I've personally found that kittens born with FelV from a positive
    mother almost always die. However, I have 10 adult cats who have been
    with two FelV pos. cats for 5 years and none of them have become
    positive.  FelV is not easily transmitted to adult cats, even when
    they share food and water bowls.
