Re: [Felvtalk] Lucky is Lucky
Bonnie, The FeLV vaccine is followed up in 3-4 weeks with a booster. Many feel adult cats have some amount of natural immunity to FeLV. Since my FeLV's were truly positive I didn't want to take any chances and had my negatives vaccinated and did the booster before mixing. I did this when I rescued my 1st two FeLV kittens. I haven't had any problems with my negative kitties.

Re: [Felvtalk] Lucky is Lucky
Sharyl No one has been vaccinated. I was hoping to avoid it (cost, don't like to vaccinate unecessarily) but maybe it is a good idea. They range in age from 7 years to 14 1/2 years. - Original Message - From: "Sharyl" To: Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 2:26 PM Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Lucky is Lucky Bonnie have you 3 cats had their FeLV vaccine?

[Felvtalk] Lucky is Lucky
Hi all I've tried this e-mail a few times and it "bounces" back, so will try yet again... Lucky's IFA test results came back: Negative! This is 5 weeks after a test at the vet's office pronounced him a "weak positive" for FeLV. The vet tech said, "the color just barely changed" in explaining what "weak positive" meant. In giving the IFA results, the vet surmised Lucky may have been recently exposed when he was tested, and the course of antibiotics and being taken good care of may have prevented the virus from getting a hold on him. So my questions are: should I trust this test result of have him retested again? If so, when? Are my 3 healthy house cats safe to be around him?
