Thanks Marlene for all this information. 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

I used immuno-regulin on my cat Smokey. He had a problem with fevers. It wasn't very expensive. I would give it to him subq and the vet would fix the shots up for me. I would keep them refrigerated. At first I did 2 a week. I gradually gave him the shots less and less. Now he doesn't get

I think that sounds like a well-informed decision, taking into account the unique factors of your household. I think that is all we are really looking for people to with the new vaccination info we are learning more about each day anyway-- to just be more informed and not just go instantly

Lynn - You said it so well when you say it is a drain on one. I keep watching Buzz and wondering if what he is doing is OK. There are so many things that I would not have thought twice about if the other cats were doing them, but I am worrying about every little thing that Buzz does that
