I started making it very plain that I did not want the vaccinations at
that time......and still had a vet give a rabies shot to a very sick
cat. When I expressed my displeasure, the tech informed me that "they
had never had any trouble with..........." Given that most cats in
this county, including the little one in question, live outside, he
would never know.

My cat Fletch also spiraled downhill after being neutered. But
honestly, they vaccinated him with core vaccines AND Felv, and I
think that is what started him on his downward spiral. I didn't ask
for that either. But I agree that it would have been much more
stressful for him to stay intact.

Sorry to say, but I had my kitten neutered at 6 mos. of age (at the
time we did not know he was positive because he actually tested neg
for it when he was much younger). He died at 9 mos of severe anemia
& other complications due to being FeLV positive. I don't know if
getting him neutered triggered this but now I'm wondering since
you've mentioned this. Has anyone else heard of this?

Subject: [Felvtalk] neutering a positive cat
I still have Mitt, the kitten I found in October who tested
positive. He seems to be
healthy at this time and around 7-8 months old. I am thinking I
should have him
neutered but the local humane society refused to do surgery on a
positive cat,
claiming surgery could trigger an immune system problem. Has anyone
neutered
their positive cat after finding out it was positive and what was
your experience?
Thanks for any input. PS: Someone asked my in a prior posting why
the vet give
vaccinations before getting blood work results that showed
positive. She sent the
blookwork to an outside lad since she said it would be less costly
and that same visit
when blood was drawn, she went ahead and did vaccinations.
