Although I know that FCV is quite hard to isolate so I am not getting my hopes up too much until I swab her again in a month. If that comes back clear then I need to just treat her for gingivitus and oral inflammation.

Great news, fingers crossed that it remains that way.

They just don`t know how stressed and worried we get about them do they.

Actually they probably do and find it quite amusingLOL
