Hi everyone. We found a cat and decided to keep him. We went to the get after having him for a week and he tested positive for feline Lukemia using the ELISA snap test that they do in office. We were devastated. The doctor took more blood to send to the lab for an IFA test. The results came back negative thank god, we are so relieved!
When the vet examined him they said some of his gums were red & when they took his blood he was bleeding so much it was hard to stop. The vet said she had never seen bleeding like that before.
Is there any chance that he can still have feline leukemia? We have another cat at home and don't want to take the chance of possibly exposing that to her. They haven't met yet as our resident is growling/hissing/hiding and wants nothing to do with him. i just don't want her to get sick!
