[Felvtalk] yearly vaccinations for FeLv+ cats
It's time for the General's yearly checkup. I've had him for 2 years. He's had a rabies shot and a calici virus shot and FVRCP booster when I got him and then the next year as well. I'm not a big vaccination person, I no longer allow my dog to be vaccinated. This cat was a stray, and he is now a 100% indoor cat. I'm thinking I should ask the vet to titer him. I just don't feel good about giving vaccinations to an immune compromised cat. What do you folks do? Sidney and the General ** A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

[Felvtalk] Zuckerman has crossed
My Zman lost his fight today. He is my 6th in the past 9 months. I know that it is to be expected when you take in sickly street kids, but it doesn't help with the pain of losing any one of these wonderful creatures. . Zuckerman was a 2 week old kitten with a horrible URI when I found him. He quickly became a momma's boy, going to work with me during the day and holding paws through the carrier door at night. Once old enough to graduate from the carrier, he became quite the snuggler, curling up at my neck during the night. He loved to suckle earlobes and would launch himself off a piece of furniture onto any unsuspecting person who happened by in order to attach himself to one. I told him that he would have to stop because we couldn't have a 12 pound adult catapulting himself onto everyone. Guess I don't have to worry about that now, he was only 8 months old and less than 4 pounds at the end. We were holding paws when he left. It's been said before by all of us and unfortunately I know it will be said many more times, but I hate this freaking disease. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Zuckerman has crossed
Amy, I am so sorry for your loss. Six kitties in 9 months is a lot of cumulative loss and grief, even if loss is expected. Bless you for taking and caring for these kitties. At least they knew love, full tummies, touch and warm bodies before they moved on. Take care of you and let the other kitties comfort you. They know.

Re: [Felvtalk] yearly vaccinations for FeLv+ cats
I have not reached that point with Copper and Thomas yet (they are FeLV-) but I will not do a lot of vaccines. The ones they got as kittens were spread out instead of being lumped in one or two visits. No animal of mine who is immune system compromised will be vaccinated for anything. Mai Mai Puppy had Auto Immune Hemophilic Anemia and wasn't vaccinated after diagnosis; The Royal Princess Kitty Katt (cancer) wasn't and Dixie (FeLV+) wasn't. I have to figure the odds of them contracting something vs the possible harm of the vaccinations. On May 12, 2009, at 12:00 PM, souther...@aol.com wrote: It's time for the General's yearly checkup.

Re: [Felvtalk] yearly vaccinations for FeLv+ cats
Autumn bites so we did the two year rabies shot for her. She was slightly sick for a couple of days, but came out fine. Her vet said that if she handled that well that he wanted to do distemper. I am not going to schedule that because we almost lost her twice as a kitten and I think it was the distemper shot that did it. She was on antibiotics for almost a month! I know the vets push for vaccinations, but rabies is all I will consider. I wouldn't even do that, but I don't want to chance her biting someone and not having it. ~Susan On Tue, May 12, 2009 at 6:02 PM, Cougar Clan maima...@duo-county.comwrote: I have not reached that point with Copper and Thomas yet (they are FeLV-) but I will not do a lot of vaccines.

Re: [Felvtalk] yearly vaccinations for FeLv+ cats
My holistic vet recommended Thuja to help with vaccination side effects. Both boys reacted badly to their first shots...very ill tempered and even snarled at me. I had given them some before the shots and gave them doses after the snarling incident. They settled down and did fine after the thuja. You'll need to do your own research or consult a holistic vet because I can't explain it adequately.

Re: [Felvtalk] Zuckerman has crossed
Oh Amy, I'm so sorry. It is so so hard to lose one baby, but to lose six in 9 months---I'm so sorry for all the heartbreak you've been suffering for so long. Zuckerman's life was far too short like so many of our kitts, but at least he spent it with you and was loved and cared for right to the end. I love your description of him and his favorite things to do-- he sure was a lovable character, wasn't he, who knew how to live and have fun. What a sweetie. Rest in peace, Zuckerman. big hugs, Kerry M.
