Marilyn,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it must be. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am curious though about what type of Felv test you had done. There is the Elisa test which is usually done in house and the IFA test which is done via a blood test at a lab and is supposed to be more accurate. I have read that there are false positives
with the Elisa test. My cat tested positive with Elisa but negative with the IFA test. I know I should probably take her back and have her retested, (as it has been more than 6 months) but she is doing well and she gets really stressed by trips to the vet.

Oh Marilyn,<br>
Destiny sounds like she was such a beautiful kitty ------ I'm happy she<br>
didn't have to suffer more.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
I am curious though - you said she tested negative for FeLV, and then had<br>
the vaccine and boosters, not exposed to FeLV outside. What more could a pet<br>
owner do! (I hate FeLV!!)<br>

Just wanted to give you kind souls an update on my sweet Destiny. I helped<br>
her cross the bridge last week, just a few weeks after her diagnosis. The<br>
vet initially thought she had a nasal tumor, but tests were negative. On<br>
this visit it was clear she had deteriorated in a week and had the vet was<br>
able to see the tumor. The vet said steroids would shrink it, but it would<br>
come roaring back. Her head was so swollen that one eye was shut. The best<br>
thing we could do was let her go while she was still purring.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
>From onset to end there was nothing we could have changed with any knowledge<br>
or treatment. She had tested neg. for FeLv and had the vaccine and<br>
boosters. Our other cats are negative and she never went outdoors. Destiny<br>
enjoyed good health until very recently when her respitory infection turned<br>
out to be a tumor. Nevertheless, it really helped us to have the support of<br>
this community and know there was somewhere we could go for advice.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
Thank you all and may you all have better success and hug your kitty<br>
tonight. Destiny was a peacemaker. I never saw her hiss once, but I saw<br>
her sit as close as she could to our cats who hissed at her, until they<br>
finally were won over. The world needs more people like my special cat . .<br>
