"I don't think the law requires the vet to give it. The pet is required to have it regardless, which would make the responsibility fall on me." In that case, order the vaccine online, pull it up into a syringe, and squirt it down the toilet, and call the cat "vaccinated". No-one can say you DIDN'

Re: question on test result

There are slight positives and strong positives. That is true, however, this vet is crazy, even allowing that she is right about that!

Revolution almost killed a member's cat here a few years back, it's totally NOT recommended for underweight, weak, sick, or debilitated cats or kittens. We were even successful at having the internationally distributed label changed to reflect that fact, as only their US label said that warning (it

Certainly there is some way to know WHICH virus it is other than necropsies? Some sort of DNA test maybe - that you could do on a live cat with a blood sample? Phaewryn http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html Special Needs Cat Resources http://www.iGive.com/html/refer.cfm?causeid=21303 Sign up for
