Hi Lance, I am not sure! I will ask her. She is pretty great. Didn't even consider euth. when he tested positive. Went ahead and neutered Leo and told me the news later that day.
I just keep thinking about what the folks on this list said last year when I asked, that their cats became sick after vaccinating. Thanks for letting me know that Ember did OK without vaccines at the vet clinic. I don't know if they make a purevax FVRCP. We will do the Rabies, and vet said to wait at least 2 weeks between vaccines if do the FVRCP. I thought that was good of her to suggest too, because it is better not to do them all at once. I never realized that until a few years ago. I'll let you all know if I find out anything on this, will probably just do the rabies though for now.
