I posted about 2 weeks ago about a very young (5 wk) kitten that tested a faint positive for FeLeuk on a SNAP test. We don't typically test so young, but we are in need of getting him quickly into a foster home so a test was done.
The test was done in house, and when the positive was "faint" they decided to board him at the vet til a retest could be done. A second test was done, and while I'm not aware of what "kind" of test, it was sent out "to a lab", and today the results came back a nice clean negative.
I'm cautiously jumping for joy. Kitten is 7 weeks now. Which test is more reliable? Cuz this boy will be coming to MY house, so a negative result is very important. Is the lab-performed test on a slightly older kitten more reliable than an in house snap done on a 5 week old kitty?
Thanks.
