Yes - she said because after they receive the FeLV vaccination, they always<br/>
test positive for FeLV. I did not know if this was true or not. She seemed<br/>
like she knew what she was talking about - she knows a lot about animal<br/>
nutrition etc. but of course is not a vet or anything.<br/>

My vet never said that exactly, but the pet store manager told me the<br/>
FeLV vaccine is not a good idea.<br/>

Has anyone's vet ever advised them against vaccines for a FELV<br/>
cat, or minimal vaccines, or spacing them out, being they have a<br/>
compromised immune system?<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
My vet will not give vaccinations to any FelV cats, nor to any of my<br/>
old cats. She also does not tell me to euthanize a FelV cat. Some<br/>
positive cats can live long lives in spite of having the virus.<br/>
<br/>
It is encouraging to know that FelV is NOT a death sentence with every cat.<br/>
Usually if is fatal with kittens however, as their immune systems are<br/>
not fully developed.<br/>

I know....... I could not believe that she told me that. And yes, her dogs<br/>
are in contact with the dogs that go to her classes and also to her doggie<br/>
day care. Maybe she had to get them vaccinated when she went on her own and<br/>
opened her own business but when she worked at a different one, they were<br/>
not vaccinated. Yes, I agree she could get in trouble too - and yet, I see<br/>
her point too.<br/>

I have fed raw, but don't currently.<br/>
<br/>
If the trainer's dogs have contact with clients or other dogs, s/he should<br/>
be careful. That's the kind of high profile that can bring trouble. It only<br/>
takes one person telling the "wrong" person that she doesn't vaccinate, and<br/>
she could be in deep doo-doo.<br/>
</div>
<div>It is possible in some states to get a "waiver" allowing a cat to not be<br/>
vaccinated for health reasons, but the cat/dog is treated as unvaccinated<br/>
and subjected to the same conditions as an unvaccinated animal.<br/>
<br/>
It's a choice, but needs to be made with care.<br/>

In Wisconsin, rabies vaccinations are actually required for dogs, but<br/>
not for cats. But a lot of vets will not treat a cat that is not rabies<br/>
vaccinated. Since Scotchie died from a rabies vaccination, I do not<br/>
vaccinate for it unless they make me. Cally had to have surgery to be<br/>
spayed, so she had to be vaccinated for rabies and she came through fine.<br/>
And Topaz was already vaccinated when I adopted her.<br/>
<br/>
I know a very reputable dog trainer who actually runs a doggie day-care<br/>
and training center, and she has three dogs of her own and does not<br/>
have them vaccinated for rabies - I have no idea how she gets by with<br/>
it, but she believes rabies vaccinations are bad. She also is an<br/>
advocate for feeding raw meat to her animals, and no commercial dog food.<br/>
