They don't need to be tested now Vicki. It's 100% definite that Lily doesn't have FeLV, so they are safe.

If Lily had tested positive at all then I would have had all the kittens tested too, but no need now.

Phew!!!!!!!!!!

Re: FeLV scare over..........


Oh right, I'm a bit confused as I thought kittens could inherit the disease from either parent if one of them were positive *hmmmmm*, maybe I'm wrong but I'm sure thats what I was taught. I know that kittens are born with a high percentage FIV if a father is FIV, it doesnt have to be the mother with the disease, I thought it was the same with FeLV or maybe I'm mistaken?

Hmmmm - I'm not sure. That's certainly not what my vet has said and I'm hoping that she knows what she's talking about!!!

Perhaps that is the case with FIV, but not FeLV?!
