Dear Friends, I had some time off from work over the last couple of weeks and it's been terribly bittersweet. Eduardo finally came home; thinner and 'talking' a mile a minute. He was VERY happy to see me (he was gone over 2 weeks) but spooked about going into the house. I finally did get him into

I used NEVOG with two of my dogs and Simon. Don't wait for a referral. Call them yourself and explain the situation, what you already know and have records of, and beg for an immediate consultation. If you can get in for a consultation and they want to do the surgery, they will probably

It's so hard to know that you may be spending the last little bit of time with your girls, but you have to take every second you can, and make the most of it. That is the sad thing about having cats in our lives, we become so close to them, and even in best case scenarios, we ALL have to go

vaccinating FELV cats for FELV

2005-10-17 Thread gblane
Hi all, I've recently heard from someone , that one approach to enhancing the immune systems of FELV cats is to vaccinate them periodically for FELV. Anybody heard of that? It changed my thinking - I'd always heard NOT to give the FELV vaccine to FELV cats. Helps me remember not to get

My only experience with a FeLV+ cats getting the vaccine was scary. One of my adult cats (prob. 5-8 years old -- rescue cat so we were unsure of age) was at the Vet's and without thinking, they gave him the FeLV vaccine. Shortly thereafter, he started a downward spiral and it only got worse,

I personally think that giving FeLV vaccines to FeLV cats is a very very bad idea (my holistic and regular vet both agrees) - regardless what type of vaccines you are giving, it will suppress their immune systems, and during the time, you will risk it (vaccines) triggering the very disease you are

Thanks, Tracy. Like I said, I'd never heard of it. I'll call the vet sometime, and see what he says (if I can get to talk with him...) Meanwhile, I'll stick with my interferon alpha. Interesting. Gloria On Oct 17, 2005, at 11:04 AM, Tracy Weese wrote: My only experience with a FeLV+

I would not do it unless I saw more than one large study done that proved it's value in at least 80% of the cats used in the studies. Like I've said many times before, I don't believe in the FELV vaccine at all, any normal adult cat will develop the immunity against FELV in time anyways, so the
