A few questions here:

 

I have two FELV cats. One symptomatic the other is not. They have both done
the IR protocol per my request, My Vet normally will also vaccinate them for
the usual diseases. Tiny is due for rabies and the distemper group. Junior
the sick one would only get the distemper, but not tomorrow because he still
has a URI and an eye infection.

 

I know there is some disagreement as to whether is vaccinate an immune
compromised cat or not. My feeling is Tiny had a weak positive and no
symptoms. He has been kept in the same room as Junior for three + weeks and
has not caught Junior's cold. I will vaccinate him against the normal stuff
and the vet would also vaccinate him against FeLV. Any thoughts about that
and what are pros and cons. 

 

Junior has been on Baytril for 10 days. He acts a bit better but definitely
not himself. He is due for one more IR which I will get tomorrow. I am a bit
concerned about his eye. It is closed shut he doesn't like me to fool with
it. I have tried getting opthalmalic ointment in it mostly I miss. I did get
some in it tonight.  It looked pretty inflamed. He is mostly blind in this
eye from being hit by a car last April. I have tried L Lysine in his food
but he is not eating all that well. Any thoughts here? Of Course I will get
the Vet to look at it tomorrow. I am also taking the paper on Alferon for
the vet to read over. I think he needs something more. Good news is he is no
longer anemic and his gingivitis is better. 

 

Thanks for your help
