Hi
I've been fostering a neutered male for the last month and tonite the woman who runs the rescue group came over with the paperwork so I could adopt him. As we were going through his medical records, it was noted that the vet had been unable to restrain him so he was not tested for Fel HIV/Leukemia, but his brother was and tested negative. He's definitely not a fan of being restrained/carried/held, so I can understand why they had so much trouble.
The rescue woman said that if one cat in a litter tests negative, chances are his/her littermates will, too.
Do you think I should take him to my vet and get him tested anyway? I have another cat in the house as well who tested negative. Also, any approx idea how much the tests will cost at the vet?
Thanks!
