1..that William should have the test sent to Glasgow before being condemed to death.... and
2...what are the results for a leukaemia vaccinated cat likely to be??

I can't answer your Q's fran.

But I think a false positive is more likely than a false negative. A false negative is unlikely IMO, but a false positive is more common.

So very sorry to read the news Charlie and I do hope that Woodgreen re-test poor William before deciding to end his life. Above is a link to an interesting article written by Cat Action Trust.
