If it would make no difference in what you will do and you are very
sure that you will never look back with regrets don't do it. As far
as rabies....perhaps you should check out titers. Make very sure you
will not look back and question your decisions.

It's been about a year now since Cinder was pts due to advanced
sarcoma caused by FeLV. 3 Months after learning of the cause of
Cinder's cancer, Onyx tested FeLV+ (Elisa & IFA), but Horus &
Blackie tested negative and were vaccinated. The vet (a great vet!)
is recommending re-testing and booster vax for both Horus & Blackie.
I see and understand her point of view, but I'm not sure about re-
testing, and I'm on the fence about the vaccine.
The reason I'm thinking of not re-testing is that I wouldn't do
anything different since all the cats are healthy and on a very good
diet. All the cats were already adults when introduced to each
other, and lived together for over a year before Onyx's diagnosis.
The vet feels that since the three cats are not separated, the
benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks (only 2% of cats who
receive the FeLV vaccine develop fibrosarcoma at the vaccination
site). However, I'm not sure if re-vaccinating is a good idea if
either or both are now positive, which is where I'm stuck. They are
both going to the vet on Monday morning for check ups and rabies
vaccinations. Any advice? What would you do?
Thanks,
Avia
