I don't know what to tell you. I have always given my negative cats the FeLV vaccine. I mixed my positives and negatives but did not worry since the negatives were adults and vaccinated.

Re: [Felvtalk] New Info found
Also remember that cats with age, do develop some natural immunity to FeLV as well as having the vaccine on board. Information changes all the time. One month I hear hours to days and another I hear days to weeks. There are also a lot of factors that go into that like sun, ph, how much FeLV was involved, temperature, etc. and we are typically talking about minuet amounts from sneezes etc. Tanya --- On Sun, 5/1/11, Sharyl cline...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Sharyl cline...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] New Info found To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Sunday, May 1, 2011, 3:53 PM I don't know what to tell you.

That is somewhat a relief. I won't feel better until he is in the clear. He was not vaccinated when he was exposed. However, he is 2 yrs. old so I know that helps. I'll keep you posted.
