I hope Junior feels better soon. My vet only recommended the distemper for Mama Kitty when she is due next year since she has FeVL...and, like your vet, wouldn't administer unless she was symptom free and doing well. My vet's take on this is that it would be horrible to have her fight off the FeVL only to succumb to something that was preventable. That seems to make some sense to me. All the others get all the vaccines including the vaccine for FeVL. elizabeth *Save the earth.

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 Sally ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
