susandennisDaisy found my check!!! And my account now shows the $$. Whew.
But, even better, I heard from a tech to talked to one of the vets and the news is not only good, it makes total sense.
She says that some vets consider a cat has FeLV if they have EVER had a positive test. Biggie had one and has since had two negatives.
And this "there are plenty of cats out there that have subclinical IBD, and as he’s not having any symptoms, a diet change may not be necessary." Whew.
Plus she told me that they actually have an internal medicine specialist on staff at one of their other locations and she can always set us up with an appointment if I want to be sure. I did not know this and am so glad to hear it.
I think, for now, we just leave well enough alone. And Biggie agrees. So yeah!
I went to a Safeway with an underground garage that smelled like a Sea Of Pee. It was seriously horrible. Also a lot of weirdly empty shelves. I scored the last bag of curly noodles. I didn't even look at the pet food. BUT I did manage to get what I wanted and then I got a cashier who was - at that moment - breaking up with her boyfriend. Merry Christmas. I got out of there back through the pee garage.
I was wearing a KN95 disposable mask. I pulled it off on the drive home. When I got to the garage here, I put it back on. It STILL SMELLED OF PEE!! So 1. mask to trash and 2. that Safeway is Off The List. Ugh.
Now I think I'll go toss in the first load of laundry.
