How do you turn a positive into a positive?

It was a typical new kitten exam... until the IDEXX SNAP® FIV/FeLV Test revealed that Dina Rossi's 10-week-old kitten, Weazer, was positive for FIV. Since there were other cats at Dina's home, Dr. Wooley advised her to closely monitor her cats' interactions to prevent transmission, and helped Dina develop a plan to manage Weazer's health.

"I'm a firm believer in testing cats routinely for FIV and leukemia."
Dr. Carolyn Wooley
Cats Only Veterinary Hospital
Reading, Pennsylvania
