If you gave her the immunization then, yes, there is no point in

Yeah, once I googled and read about the immunization I remembered
that. At the time the immunization sounded like a good idea. Then I
read about lost cats being routinely PTS at some shelters when they
came back positive, it no longer made sense for my cats, who are low
risk because they are indoor only.

It's good she is getting better. Did they
talk about thrombosis at all? She might have thrown a blood clot. That
can be fatal but sometimes they can get over it for a while. I sure
hope she gets to feeling better. It sucks to not know what is wrong.


The vet seemed to be leaning towards an unexplained injury. After the
FIV test eveything shifted to explaining that FIV positive cats could
still live a happy, good quality life. Partly my fault for not
remembering and mentioning the immunization back in 2003. OTOH, I
can't help being a little put out by the vet not asking if she'd been
immunized since that would have reminded me. Or, she could have
checked Little Bit's records. Afterall she received the immunization
at this clinic, where she's been a patient since 2001.
