Hi everyone
My kitten Bernie was diagnosed with Felv about 2 months after we got him home from the shelter. He was on interferon for 45 days, retested, and is still positive. When we got him from the shelter he did not have his second set of vaccinations yet. He is now 8 months old. I am taking him to the vet tonight to get the shots. The vet said she would split up the doses so his body could handle them. I think I will go back in 3 weeks and get the rest. I am still a little nervous about him getting the shots and becoming sick. He was symptom free for about 40 days and then he had a bad day where he wouldn't eat. Otherwise, he has been acting like a normal kitten. No more soft stool, good appetite (besides his bad day), good energy. Still give him interferon once a day. Has anyone had an experience with the vaccinations? Is there a good chance he could die from the shots? I know he needs them.. but I am nervous about it. Also, I decided to keep my non Felv cat (Brady) with Bernie. The vet told us to get Brady re-tested in 3 1/2 months. He tested negative the first time. My question is, how often should you have your non Felv Cat tested? I was thinking once a year would be ok? Every 3 1/2 months sounds like too much..... Thank you! _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
