Question about a vax

Thanks for the info, Liz. Yeah, I hate having to get him the FeLV shot but
he lives with one who is positive and the risk is too great not to.

Welcome! I always think about your kitty and wonder how he´s doing.

Do you know if there´s a titer test for FeLV?

Concurrent use of
corticosteroids at the time of vaccination should be avoided if
practical, but apparently corticosteroids do not result in
ineffective
immunization if short-term low to moderate dose regimens are used.

Thanks Karen. I feel better though we were up at the vets tonight and
he got both the shots. Vet agrees it could still be a tuna allergy if
the reaction was so quick after eating that food with 50% tuna in it.
This poor cat. Since his fur is chewed off at the base of his tail,
she was inspecting the skin there and found a very large, deep scar.
He has a kinked tail so it's pretty apparent he had some trauma that
broke his it at some point before he found me. Probably explains his
behavior at times.


I feel for you Cheryl!! Having a dog with major allergy problems
(discovered German Shepards have their *very own* skin condition
called German Shepard cellulitis, isn't that nice?) I know how
frustrating it can be! Watching your pet suffer and not knowing for
sure what's causing it can make you want to pull your own hair out.
Plus having poor Shadow to worry about too. You're doing great, Cheryl
and I'm glad the vaccines went okay.

Wow, this was a very very old thread!!! Thankfully, Shamrock no
longer has to have FeLV boosters.

Ugh, that shouldn't be "thankfully" because that means that the
reason he doesn't is because Shadow is now RB.

How does such an old thread get resurrected like this? This ccpouncer
found an old post and answered it, is that what happened? Very odd.
It was freaking me out for a second because a lot of the dates in the
thread were Sept. 11, 2003 (which I know isn't the right year but it
was wierd anyway).

I dunno. My news server doesn't have that kind of retention! If the
post came from google, I'd understand, but it didn't.
