Above: The Fox Hole Radio built with a WWII-era âbluedâ razor blade and pencil lead for the detector. Note the bamboo coil form and the paper clip attached to a cork used to slide along the coil turns to tune the radio. The orange wire goes to the antenna, the black wire to ground.
FIV is diagnosed with a âsnapâ test, usually in combination with the Felv test. A positive FIV test almost always indicates active infection. The exception is young kittens born to an FIV positive queen. Young kittens possess antibodies to FIV from mom, but may not actually have the disease. So, if you have an FIV positive kitten, before panicking, have the kitten retested at 6 months of age.
My cat is 6 years old and she is FeLV negative. She has had the vaccine for two years with the appropriate booster the first year. Unfortunately or fortunately, we found a starving stray cat in our neighborhood. I took the stray cat to the vet today and she has feline leukemia.
