[Felvtalk] different types of Felv

[Rachel Dagner]

That is very good to know, thank you for sharing. My Chihuahua is 11 and
she has always had a bad reaction to vaccines, the last 3 year rabies shot
she got about 6 months ago resulted in a bump between her hip and rib cage
that is still there, they said it is nothing to worry about, but I do not
think I will get the rabies vaccine for her again. I pray that they are
right and the bump is nothing and will eventually go away.

My vet will not give vaccinations to any FelV cats, nor to any of my old
cats.  She also does not tell me to euthanize a FelV cat. Some positive
cats can live long lives in spite of having the virus.

It is encouraging to know that FelV is NOT a death sentence with every
cat. Usually if is fatal with kittens however, as their immune systems are
not fully developed.
