I don't vaccinate for distemper in my FeLV cats anymore. I had 2 die within a
month of being vaccinated. I got rabies at the time they were fixed only
because the county requires it. Unless your cats are at risk, I wouldn't
vaccinate. But that's just my 2 cents.

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 Juniors 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 con
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 doesnt 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
