Re: [Felvtalk] No vaxes?
If Ash is healthy I would have her vaccinated. I think it's good to get the first set of vaccinations in. Also, I don't know if Ash tested positive twice at at least 3 months apart? If not, you may not be dealing with a positive cat to begin with. Both of my positives received their first leukemia shots and boosters. One I knew was positive, one I didn't. I don't think it makes a difference. I would not vaccinate an obviously sick cat. Years ago, vets did say to vaccinate positives anyway. Now they say not to. But unless you're totally sure your cat is positive I would vaccinate. tonya Jennifer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Really? I had no idea vets didn't need to vaccinate in order to neuter/spay. I guess it's their way of getting more money. I will run that by my vet and tell him I don't want Ash to get any shots because of his FeLV+ status, and see what he says. See, that's the thing that bugs me. Vets are supposed to be animal advocates and do what's right by them, and surely they know that giving FeLV+ cats vaccines isn't the best thing to do for their immune system...yet they do it anyway!

Talk to the vet and if you can't do anything find another one. I just took LCK and LGK to the vet to be checked out (they came in from the pine thicket--long story). They went in at different times. They are young (8 or so weeks) but at the age people start getting their shots. I made it very plain that I wanted nothing but worming, de-miting/fleaing etc and what they needed for their immediate health (one was dehydrated, vomiting etc). I want them to be older and better health before their system is assaulted with vaccines. The vets agreed to that and (unofficially) supported the decision. If he is not boarding the vet has absolutely no reason to vaccinate.

Re: [Felvtalk] Duncan is gone
I'm so sorry to hear the sad news about Duncan, that's so hard, Laura. And right on top of your 18-year-old. What was his or her name? Try not to beat yourself up. I've been there too, with Caramel, the first of mine to pass away. I realized later that he'd been unwell for a while and I hadn't been fully aware of it. I made the same promise too, and now I leave nothing to chance either, but I figured it took Caramel to show me the way.
