kitty was diagnosed with FeLv. The ELISA test showed slightly + for FeLv. I
took her to the vet’s initially because her lymph nodes were raging – all of
them premandibular, prescapular, inguinal all the way to the popliteals were
enlarged. </font></div>

(the whole litter) was tested as kittens for FIV and FeLv and were negative. My
vet said the disease can stay in the bone marrow. I have her brother who is
asymptomatic – confusing. I haven’t had him tested yet for FeLv yet.</font></div>
