Re: Recent vaccination vs actual disease
I think cats are often vaccinated when they are positive. Particularly in shelter situations. My first cat was vaccinated, and showed no ill effects.tLora [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Nancy,Agreed.

Just make surethat the she does not receive any more FeLV vaccines.She may be sick for awhile.Imagine having the flu and fighting off the fluvaccine at the same time. It has got to be hell.Please keep us posted and do not PTS immediately! Shecan recover from the double-dosage if even the properrecovery time, but she will probably always be FeLVpositive.Good luck.

Re: Recent vaccination vs actual disease re:flu vaccine now flu!!:(
Hi guys this is off topic but I had to comment about getting a flu shot while fighting the flu. I went on Tues and got a flu shot...my arm swelled up and was itching nothing major...NOW I have the flu:( I cant believe it! I got vaccinated because I hate the flu and now I have it!!! I have diabetes so I said I'll get it now im regretting it...makes you think though I wonder how many others have gotten flu from their vaccine? was this a weird coincidence or what:( Kayte and Crackers
Re: Recent vaccination vs actual disease re:flu vaccine now flu!!:(
Never got a flu shot, I'm blessed with a pretty strong immune system, haven't been really sick since 1995. Hope you feel better soon. :) -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: Recent vaccination vs actual disease re:flu vaccine now flu!!:(
Ok Kayteexcuse my saying so - but this really sucks out loud. I am so sorry you are going through this. I have moderate to severe asthma and so I have been debating getting my first shot. I have diabetes on both sides of my family and my mom is worried because I had such a severe allergic reaction to eggs as a child and she is worried that the vaccine was egg-grown (I have the most fantastic allergic reactions on a regular basis). Nothing sucks more than the flu...please feel better, Kayte -- In a message dated 10/27/2006 9:02:19 P.M.

Re: Recent vaccination vs actual disease re:flu vaccine now flu!!:(
In all my life - I never had the flu until I was 42 (ok - so I am dating myself). Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine how horrible it really is to have the flu. Honest to God - I had blisters inside my mouth and I missed more than a month of work due to complications (the asthma thing). Thank God I havesome of the best managers on the planet. (this was 2 - maybe 3years ago) I've always had such a robust immune system - but I am here to tell you that you really don't want the flu. People categorizeparticularly insidious infections as the flu--but it isn't so. People die from the flu - and that is a fact. The flu is evil. elizabeth In a message dated 10/27/2006 9:05:17 P.M.
