-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Faye Lewis Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 10:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: FELV-FIV test All of my cats now have the new FIV vaccine. FWIW, no one had a reaction or any kind of false positive. They are Felv negative but are regularly tested for FELV and FIV because of their exposure. 9 cats with the FIV vaccine and all are doing fine. We are in the midst of an FIV mess so I feel better about the vaccine. >From: "Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: <[email protected]> >Subject: RE: FELV-FIV test >Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2005 10:11:34 -0500 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Received: from vlists.net ([208.186.168.62]) by mc1-f38.hotmail.com with >Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.211); Tue, 1 Feb 2005 07:17:57 -0800 >Received: from localhost ([EMAIL PROTECTED])by vlists.net (8.11.6/8.11.6) with >SMTP id j11FHZx20366for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 1 Feb 2005 09:17:45 >-0600 >Received: by vps.vlists.net (TLB v0.11a (1.26 tibbs 1998/09/22 04:41:41)); >Tue, 01 Feb 2005 09:13:43 -0600 (CST) >Received: (from [EMAIL PROTECTED])by vlists.net (8.11.6/8.11.6) id >j11FDIY17043for felvtalk-utils; Tue, 1 Feb 2005 09:13:18 -0600 >Received: from smtp10.atl.mindspring.net (smtp10.atl.mindspring.net >[207.69.200.246])by vlists.net (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id >j11FCno16777for <[email protected]>; Tue, 1 Feb 2005 09:12:59 -0600 >Received: from dialup-4.236.99.91.dial1.newyork1.level3.net ([4.236.99.91] >helo=CHRISB)by smtp10.atl.mindspring.net with esmtp (Exim 3.33 #1)id >1Cvzgp-0004DP-00for [email protected]; Tue, 01 Feb 2005 10:11:39 -0500 >X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jHEA/m/s0mMabJXuNMt37O7ouFz/rfu9tg= >X-MSMail-Priority: Normal >X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.4510 >X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 >Virus-Information: Virus Scanned By VLists.Net For Your Protection. >Virus-Status: VLists.Net Found No Virus >Spam-Status: not spam, SpamAssassin (score=-2.563, required 5,autolearn=not >spam, AWL 0.04, BAYES_00 -2.60) >X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by vlists.net id >j11FD7n16970 >Precedence: list >Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 01 Feb 2005 15:18:02.0642 (UTC) >FILETIME=[38C0E720:01C50871] > >Thanks--I too am a little wary of new vaccines unless absolutely necessary >& >I appreciate any comments before I talk to him about it.... > >Chris >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf >Of Faye Lewis >Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 9:34 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: FELV-FIV test > >My vet recently began using a FELV-FIV vaccine.
