Thank you for all of your opinions and advice.
I went ahead with the feline distemper vaccination. Bernie has been
totally fine since The vet's plan was to do another shot in 1
month and the final shot a month after that. I think once the kitten
series is done, I may stop. Bernie is an
Hi Maria
There is a current, non profit research project being conducted by
Dr. Jean Dodds DVM
and Dr. Ronald Schultz called the Rabies Challenge (Google it). It is
a seven year project
in which they intend to prove that one rabies vaccination will
protect an animal for its lifetime.
Was it an anaphylactic shock reaction? I lost a 5 month old little feral
girl, she died right after having her rabies shot--she was not tested though
I'm guessing likely negative.

No it wasn't anaphylactic shock or the kitten would have died right
away. She got sick the next day. She was so weak she just fell
over and apparently the shot stressed her immune system too much.
She must have been fairly far advanced with FelV, as she was always
much more quiet than the
We decided to by pass the vaccines for our FeLV cat. We figure his body has
been through enough, so we did not want to subject him to the exposure. Our
Vet agreed with that decision.

Dawn,
I am not sure what State you live in, however, the first transfusion for a cat
can be from any donor cat. After that however, you need to have the correct
type. Because our cat has B blood, which is very rare, we searched and found a
animal blood bank that was within driving distance
Sorry, didn't see your message till today.
I've had 10 or 15 FELV cats over the last 6 years. I have 5 now. Two of the
current cats, Oliver and Chloe, came from a lady in Oklahoma who had to give
them up because of family problems. Her vet there vaccinated them regularly
against FELV, as a way
Well this is VERY interesting to me. My FeLV+ cats were always vaccinated
for FeLV, too (before AND after the vet knew they were positive). Stripes
lived to 16 years and Squeaky lived to age 22 years.

Hi, Gloria, Let me get this straightYour vet vaccinated FelV
positive cats with the FelV vaccine to deal with FelV. I understood
that once a cat was FelV positive the vaccine was not going to change
it's status, and the cat would still remain positive. Does anyone else
know anything
At the clinic where I work we only usually give positive cats the distemper
portion. The FELV portion is of no value good or bad to a positive cat. In fact
it is yet another vaccine component the cats body must deal with.
Hope this heps.

Well, not exactly - what actually happened was I obtained 2 cats from
a lady in Oklahoma, and she was a vet tech. She knew they were FELV
positive, and had them for several years. HER VET (not mine) had
vaccinated them for FELV regularly, and believed that it was helpful
to FELV cats.
