    Odd symptoms in cat

    I would still have him vaccinated just space them out especially if he goes outdoor. It was also suggested to have a steroid injection prior to vaccines if the cat has had a reaction. You might try an immune supplement and probiotic. I used Immune Harmony and Power Probiotic for pets.

    Was one of the vaccinations Felocell 4? My boy became very ill about a week after his vaccinations. Fever, lethargic, and not eating. Multiple visits to vets with conflicting diagnosis of FeLV and/or FeLV which were both negative on PCR test. In researching the vaccinations he had I learn that...

    Help needed: Kitty tested FeLV positive; double-cat household

    When Eddie was sick I was throwing the kitchen sink at him trying to get him well. Even though he was negative for both FIV and FeLV with the PCR test he had something going on with his immune system. After he was weaned off of the Prednisolone he developed pillow paw and could hardly walk. I...

    Help needed: Kitty tested FeLV positive; double-cat household

After several trips to vet they tested for FeLV and FIV with a SNAP test and it was positive for FeLV. They treated him with antibiotics and anti-inflamatories all to no avail. He was near death and I...

    Defensor 3 is rabies, Leukocell 2 is FeLV and Felocell 4 is for FVR,FVC,FPL, and FPV. They did do blood work and urinalysis prior to vaccinations and all was normal. He became extremely ill about 5 days later with high fever, lethargy, and anorexia which is a side effect listed by manufacturer...

    Adverse reaction to cat vaccinations ?

    Eddie just returned from vet. They ran another CBC and all had returned to normal. Vet want to do another PCR for FeLV and FIV in 90 days but said he is most likely negative based on the previous PCR being negative for both. He did finally say it looks to be a adverse reaction to the Felocell 4...

    Adverse reaction to cat vaccinations ?

    That is what the literature I reviewed about FIV testing implied and also what the cat specialist believes. She also thought that perhaps the vet or vet tech read the test upside down which would explain the FeLV + result. She showed me the snap test she did on him and it appears to be an easy...

    Adverse reaction to cat vaccinations ?

    I definitely will only have one cat vaccination at a time now. I read that the reaction to the Felocell 4,which is rare, appears to only happen when multiple vaccinations are given at once. I’m an artist and enjoy using Eddie as my subject when my inspiration is lacking.
