Hi Cherie, some vets may just not be good teachers or communicators
too - I find that to be the case. Gloria

Lisa,
I love my vet do not get me wrong, but what I have learned over the
past two days on this chat group far surpasses anything she has
shared with me. In retrospect I wish I was talking to you guys before
all this happened maybe I could have been more prepared. Also how can
I not have guilt, especailly because I am debating on getting another
cat, (5) just seems odd to me, odd cat food odd kityy litter boxes
just seems like (6) was my number, but I do not want to have this
happen again. I am nervous and scared but, I almost have a drving
force to replace that place in my heart.

Amber which is the one that came up positive, she was tested twice

So one of them DID come up psoitive...then that is for sure where he
got it from..I know you said you were feeling guilty about them
having contact..but please dont...I know its hard not to...but if she
tested negative previously then there was no way for you to have
known..vets dont bother to teach owners about anything like
that...its so sad....we had a big disscussion on another list Im on
about vaccinations adn yearly vaccinations only being left so b/c
vets want to make money..or to get the animals in for exams....I
think instead they should focus on yearly FeLV tests..in all
cats....that way, they would still get to see the animals for
exams..., but not have to overvaccinate to do it....if they just
stressed how important it was for yearly tests in all cats....then
mabey it would be more widley known
