I know this is an old thread but wanted to put in my two cents.
Where I live in CA the rabies vaccine is a requirement unless your vet writes a ltter to animal control.
In CA the FIV vaccine is not allowed. It is a very dangerous vaccine.
A few years ago I went to a new vet who convinced me to get my cat Leo up to date on all the vaccines. I did that and also had him have a full dental cleaning under anesthesia . The vet said his teeth were great. Less than two weeks later he had horrible laryngitis( he was a talky guy) I laso noticed that he ran excitedly up to his bowl at feeding time but would cry out and run away. I took him to the vet and found that he had horrible, horrible stomatitis but, only at the back teeth and all the way down his throat.
I switched vets and she believed he had an auto-immune response to the vaccines.We went through the steroids etc. but the cartilage down the back of his throat became involved and pain meds didn't work after awhile and the depo medrol shots only worked for about a week.There was no point in extractions after the back teeth were out because the Stomatitis never moved in that direction, only down his throat. I will always blame those vaccinations for losing my boy Leo.
