Re: [Felvtalk] Shots For FeLV+ Kittens
My vet believes the first shot and booster for FeLV are sufficient. I do not vaccinate for FELV anymore (after the first shot and booster). I also have only FeLV- cats (as far as I know). -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Lorrie Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 4:53 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Shots For FeLV+ Kittens I give my cats their basic PCRC shots and rabies shots every three years but I just started giving my FelV negative cats the FelV shots.

All 14 cats were tested when I took them in but it's too expensive to retest them every year.

Re: [Felvtalk] Shots For FeLV+ Kittens?
My boys are negative but I stretched their shots out and were very selective about which ones they got. My vets approved this given that they were indoor kittens after they adopted me. Prior to that they were very young ferals. I waited as long as I could to neuter them but there were signs they were ready to mark their territory. I had them done on the same day to keep from upsetting balance of power they had established.

Lorrie, I don't know what to say. I have a mix of negatives and positives. All my negatives get there annual leukemia booster.

Re: [Felvtalk] Shots For FeLV+ Kittens?
Crystal, all 8 of my positive kittens received their shots and were spayed/neutered with no ill affects. Fixing the boys will reduce the stress in their lives. I follow the new shot protocol. After their 1st yr shots mine get boosters every three years. They do to the vet annually for a check up.

[Felvtalk] Shots For FeLV+ Kittens?
Just wanted to thank everyone again for the kind words about my baby I lost a week ago, Nibbler. I have some questions about his two brothers Brillo and Desmond. They are in great health with no symptoms. Is it a good idea to get FeLV+ kittens their shots? Also, in a month they will be old enough to get fixed, should I do that as well?
