Gia,
I'm sorry for all of your misfortune, boy did your old vet let you
down, he should NEVER have vaccinated without testing first, it makes no
sense to vaccinate an already positive cat and I have talked with
several people who have had bad experiences unknowningly vaccinating a
positive cat. I would at some point get them tested if you plan on
getting them vaccinated for the FeLV atleast because if there are
anymore positives, I personally wouldn't vaccinate them.
I do not seperate my negs ad pos, I currently only have 1 pos. and he
has lived with his housemates unseperated for over 10 years and nobody
has gotten it from him.
I am glad to hear you have a new vet, but it still worries me that they
would vaccinate without testing, sorry but this is a red flag for me
that maybe they are not very knowledgable about FeLV altoghether. My
guess ie Elvis had it back years ago and it just now activated. I have
had positives live long lives before they got active and passed from an
opportunistic disease, usually cancer or anemia.
Just curious what does your vet say is wrong with Elvis?? If they said
FeLV mainifesting nothing we can do I'd run as fast as I could and find
an new vet who has more experience with FeLV and doesn't just write a
positive cat off that gets sick. I've nursed many positives through
many illnesses, BUT you have to know what is wrong with them!!
