Re: More vaccine info/resources
I put a couple out for an outside cat (his choice, not mine) when it was close to zero. They stayed warm for 8 hours..not hot but enough to keep him comfortable in the shelter I provided for him..Don't even ask about the better shelters offered.

I always have had our cats vaccinated but with BooBoo, I honestly don't think I'm going to have any done with him. He's between 4 and 6 years of age, has feline leukemia, is becoming anemic and will never step outside of a house again. He doesn't want to anyway, not even into the patio for some fresh air. It's too cold and mostly he sleeps. He may want to in the spring but he isn't going to be subjected to any animal with diseases. Our 19 year old wants nothing to do with him and by choice they spend their time in different parts of the house with their own litter boxes, food dishes etc. I just don't want to take any risks with this little guy. The most I'm going to do is consider immuno regulin for him. His vet is looking into it this week.

Please ask your vet to report each adverse reaction as I'm pretty sure adverse reactions are under reported. Your vet should make a note in your cat's medical file when your cat doesn't seem to support well some type/brand of vaccine. Please don't over vaccinate your cats and ask only for core vaccines unless there is a good reason to use a non-core vaccine. Most core vaccines are effective for at least 3 years so it's not really necessary to give a yearly vaccine. Remember that your vet should perform a health check-up before vaccination and never vaccinate cats that don't seem to be healthy. Here are some good links on vaccination and guidelines. After reading those you might want to assess together with your vet which vaccines your cat really needs and how frequent your cat should get them. http://www.fabcats.org/owners/vaccination/info.html http://www.fabcats.org/cat_group/policy_statements/vacc.html http://www.fabcats.org/owners/cat_flu/vaccination.html http://www.fabcats.org/owners/cat_flu/limping_syndrome.html Kind regards, Marleen Need to know the score, the latest news, or you need your Hotmail(R)-get your "fix".
