Screening for FeLV and FIV in Hoarding Cases

  • 1.  Screening for FeLV and FIV in Hoarding Cases

    Posted 03-02-2020 01:13 PM

    Hello!

    Does anyone know of any evidence-based sources or recommendations for screening for FeLV and FIV in cats from hoarding cases? For example, we may intake over 100 cats in a short period of time, and we are trying to identify how many cats we should be testing for FeLV and FIV, to get a representative sample of the population. This avoids having to test every cat (to minimize costs) and hopefully gives a relatively accurate estimation of whether the cats have FeLV or FIV.

    Thanks!
