Lisa, Do you know if these new FeLV vaccine changes/updates have been enforced as the new protocol a.k.a. standard procedure according to the The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMV) or for any Board Certified Veterinarian?
I was unaware that the "Modified Live" version of the FeLV vaccine has been discontinued. (Which IS a good decision, in my opinion.) Are ALL veterinarians now strongly encouraged to administer only the "Killed" FeLV vaccine? I hope so. Back in 2002 when my Peeper was diagnosed with FeLV my veterinarian that I still use today was administrating the "Modified Live" version. Gasp! I hope that does not imply that all of my negatives were given this type of FeLV vaccine! I have to check that out tomorrow! Oh no! When was this new protocol enforced? Does anyone know? Lisa, thank you for bring this to my attention! Much appreciated! Lora --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Lora, FeLV vaccinations do not come "MLV." Only the FIV vacc now comes that way and possibly one other dog vaccination. That is why vets do not push the FIV vaccination because it is actually know to cause more FIV than it prevents. FeLV vaccs USED to come that way, but they are not manufactured like that any more. This is in efforts to eliminate the virus and any vet who opps to use the "old" vaccinations is doing so carelessly and probally for $ reasons only. But there should not be any around anymore though.
