Charlie, are WG aware of the statistics of false possitives with in-house testing? Sorry I know its not down to you and that you have your own worries but I cannt help thinking that there is not much point in re-testing if they are going to put all their faith in the in-house tests. Is it possible for you to print off some of the info to show them? Poor William, I am not a religous person but I will be praying for this poor boy. |

I agree with Elaine and think that Wood Green have just extended his life on Death Row |

The best William can hope for IMO is that he does have owners that will come forward for him. I'm rooting for you William x |

I'm rooting for William too, believe me. I was planning on calling Wood Green this afternoon and chatting to my old boss, the manager of the cat section, about their FeLV policies. I don't know if it will do any good, but who knows! I know that one of my good friends, Dionne, is working in the isolation section this week and she's making sure that William has lots of cuddles. I'll ask her to send extra from all of us too. |

Have you spoken to your own vet about getting your cats tested Charlie? |

They were quite helpful but basically said that there is no point in testing my cats now as the incubation period can vary so much from cat to cat. She suggested that I leave it 2-4 weeks and then have them tested. She said that even the tests that are sent to Glasgow can come back with false results (plus with the incubation period varying) so she suggested that I have a re-test done a few weeks after the initial test. I had thought of doing this anyway. Basically, it's a waiting game.  Not great news, but kind of what I was expecting. It's harder because there won't be any symptoms and if one of them does have it, by the time they are tested they could all have it. What a horrible month January has turned out to be, what with this, Bernard's op tomorrow and being dumped by my BF!! lol |
