Hi All, I asked last year when Leo was due for his yearly check-up, about how everyone feels about vaccinating their Leukemia pos. cats in general.
The replies I received cautioned not to vaccinate for FVRCP, that is caused cats to become ill afterwards. I have to get Leo vacc. for rabies since it is the law, will do the Purevax like I did last year, but he has only received one FVRCP vacc. back in summer 2012, when I first got him and he was neutered and I wasn't told about his FeLV status until afterwards. At the time I thought he was a feral cat, he actually was, but has since become quite tame. Last year, in 2013, I opted not to do the FVRCP, because of the cautionary emails on the subject. I guess my only worry is that he will be more susceptible in a vet clinic when he goes in for a check up for for treatment if he doesn't have that vaccine, so just would like to throw this out there again for thoughts on this subject. Also, is there a certain type of FVRCP that might be less dangerous, etc? I have done some reading on Dr. Lisa Pierson's website, and sounds like he should maybe have at least 2 vaccines as an adult and then can stop. Am I overthinking this? Thanks for any advice. So far, knock on wood, he is doing great, though he is lonely, but I think since he was initially semi-feral, the quiet lifestyle suits him. we built him a nice mini screened porch/large window box which he really enjoys and spend time with him daily. Best, Shelley _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
