Hi Gloria,
Congratulations to you and Susan on your new additions!
That vaccination protocol sounds something (and believe me, not only is my head spinning, but my hair is hurting!) like using nosodes rather than vaccines. I looked into it a bit and don't fully understand it, but it seems to me that there is a homeopathic principal (like cures like?) of using the FeLV nosodes on an FeLV+ kitty to try and eliminate the virus. I do have some vague memory of hearing about this but it's not widely done and I don't have an homeopathic vet so I didn't pursue it. Maybe this vet was trying a similar strategy to challenge the immune system. Very interesting.

OK folks - thanks to the Purring Pixie list, we now have 4 new FELV babies
here in Little Rock. They went to Missouri first, but then we had a
couple of openings and Missouri allowed them to come to us. I have two,
and Susan is taking two.
Have you heard of this - They had FELV as babies, and the lady's vet told
her to vaccinate them for FELV 3 times a year - CONTRARY TO EVERYTHING I
BELIEVED! I always heard you weren't supposed to vaccinate FELV cats for
FELV. Makes my head spin around - which is scarey :)
They're 8.5 years old, and all 4 are healthy, going strong! They are:
Oliver- 8 1/2 yr old male, white with black on head and tail and black
spot on chin, about 12 lbs
Phoebe- 8 1/2 year old female, tortoise shell, very rotund, close to 20 lbs
Chloe- 8 1/2 yr old female, grey tabby with white feet and white chest,
small build with big belly, about 9 lbs
Felicity- 8 1/2 year old female, white with black mark on top of head
and black tail, small build, 7 lbs
I just wanted to tell everybody, and put out that vaccination protocol, to
see if anybody else had heard that.
Gloria
