I wouldn’t be concerned as long as her blood work is okay. Keep a close eye on her gums, inside of the ears, and pads to watch for any paleness which might signify anemia.    I don’t think she NEEDS any help right now, but you might consider trying her on a long course of Doxycycline to see if maybe you can eliminate the virus. I have no idea if it would work, but in the three-pronged treatment I recommend, I believe that Doxycycline is blocking viral replication of the FeLV virus. If your vet is willing, you could try the Doxycycline – I would think at least 6 weeks – and then wait a while and test her again for FeLV. If you give it a shot and it works, let the rest of us know.    Amani    From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-bounces at felineleukemia.org]On Behalf Of gidget43 at aol.com

Subject: [Felvtalk] QUESTION    Hello,  My girl is 4 years old and has had FeLV for 3 years.  We took in a kitten 3 years ago who tested negative for it.  The two were together after that and 6 months later, I found out the negative was false.  The kitten was actually a positive.  When I tested my other girl, she also had it.  Kitten has since passed after 3 years of living with it, but my other girl is still going strong.  I had her retested yesterday because you would just never know she has it.  It was still positive.  Could she be a carrier?  The vet was very pleased with the blood work as it was perfect.  He thought she may be a carrier.  Wanted to have your thoughts.  Although she is doing so well, should I be giving her something to help her?  Maybe to keep the immune system strong?  Thank you.      Nancy _______________________________________________
