I can only add that in January of 1993 I had to fly to Boston because
my Dad was in the hospital dying, I had to board all 5 (4 positives,
Teenye later turned negative and remained so for the rest of her life)
of my guys at the vets because I was on a plane in 4 hours and didn't
have time to make other arrangements. I was gone a week. In October of
1993 I lost Skeeter (FeLV+) to intestinal lymphoma, in March of 1994 I
lost Mikie (FeLV+) to kidney cancer and in January of 1995 I lost my
Frankie (FeLV+) to anemia. I don't think this was a coincidence, I
don't leave my guys over night unless there is absolutely no other way
and that has only been one time since then when Fred had his hyper-t
treatment and I told them ONLY 1 day, he went in at about noon and I was
there the next day at 10AM to pick him up.
I think lots of vets underestimate the impact of the stress to their bodies by
them staying at the clinic
