When we moved to our new home 14 years ago, Scotchie got out and was gone for two days, right after I had him vaccinated for rabies – I think he was mad at me for taking him in. I took off work and searched for him from morning to night. I finally found him on the second day and he was in some bushes and would not come to me. He was acting weird. I went into the bushes and got him and he was scared of me…and he hung on tight with his claws, drawing some blood. He died a couple days later, and the vet asked if he scratched me and I said yes. So they insisted on doing a test on his head for $100 to see if he had rabies. They wanted to do a complete autopsy for $700 and I said no – he was already gone. He had stopped eating/drinking right after the rabies shot, and they gave him sub-q fluids and put him on some pills that I found out later can cause convulsions in puppies. He had convulsions and yet they did not think it was from the pills.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Ardy<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-bounces@felineleukemia.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Margo<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, June 9, 2016 5:29 AM<br><b>To:</b> felvtalk@felineleukemia.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Felvtalk] different types of Felv<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><br><br>Sorry, I KNOW I'm sounding very PRO vaccine, but I'm not. I've just seen the consequences of not vaccinating. And with rabies, it isn't just that the critter can get sick and die from something preventable. There's still PLENTY of rabies in wildlife, and wildlife is closer to us that ever, especially the most important vectors, being skunks and raccoons. Raccoons often occupy attics. Skunks cn take up residence under porches.<br><br>I worked at an Animal Control facility. Just quickly, animals get out. There are fires, and disasters. Sometimes when an animal has to be caught, a human may be scratched or bitten. Quarantine isn't always an option, and if the anial has injured someone, and that someone requests it, the animal MUST be tested.<br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>-----Original Message----- <br>From: Ardy Robertson <br>Sent: Jun 9, 2016 12:18 AM <br>To: <a href="mailto:felvtalk@felineleukemia.org">felvtalk@felineleukemia.org</a> <br>Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] different types of Felv <br><br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Yes, with the exception of Cally who is vaccinated, my cats are indoor-only except when I carry them outside on walks.
