Hi Karen, Ask your vet for a referral to a board certified Internist. All vets have specialty clinics that they send their patients to when there's a condition that GP medicine can't deal with. There is a much better chance that an Internist will be better educated on felv. The Internist might

Call animal control, your cat was bitten, if you saw the dog's mouth on her. They will take the dog, and quarantine it for rabies. That should make the neighbor's think twice about letting their dog run loose! Hell, tell them the dog snapped at YOU, if no one saw to deny it, who's gonna know
