Thanks, Tracy. Like I said, I'd never heard of it. I'll call the
vet sometime, and see what he says (if I can get to talk with him...)
Meanwhile, I'll stick with my interferon alpha.
Interesting.

my adult cats (prob. 5-8 years old -- rescue cat so we were unsure

was at the Vet's and without thinking, they gave him the FeLV vaccine.
Shortly thereafter, he started a downward spiral and it only got
worse,
eventually (w/i 7 mos) I PTS. Now, it could be a coincidence, but
it made
me uneasy. I have heard what you are saying, but until there is
more info,
I doubt I would intentionally do that. Maybe others have had a more
positive experience.

Subject: vaccinating FELV cats for FELV
Hi all,
I've recently heard from someone , that one approach to enhancing the
immune systems of FELV cats is to vaccinate them periodically for
FELV. Anybody heard of that?
It changed my thinking - I'd always heard NOT to give the FELV
vaccine to
FELV cats. Helps me remember not to get too set in my thoughts, in
particular about FELV. Any knowledge of that?
Thanks!
