I just got my second cat, Shadow, on Monday. She's a female black kitty, with little patches of white on her chest and belly. She's following us everywhere already!
I took her to the vet on Tuesday, for a check-up. She's estimated at around 4.5 mo, because she still has her baby teeth. She weights 1Kg 800gr, and is healthy. She got her primo vaccines done, and FeLV.
Just like with my neutered male cat Sparrow, she presents a growth at the site of the injection.
She was given Leucofeligen, from Virbac. The shot covers calicivirus, viral rhinotracheitis virus, panleucopenia virus and FeLV.
After reading a lot about vaccines-associated sarcomas, I'm a lot more cautious about reactions to vaccines. My late Kyran never had any problems, but Sparrow does, and now Shadow.
I went to the European Medicines Agency's site and read about Leucofeligen. Here's the pdf on it if you want to read it : http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB...Information/veterinary/000143/WC500063754.pdf
From my research, I know that the point of live attenuated viruses is that they are not used with adjuvants like aluminum. But with Leucofeligen, there is aluminum because of the FeLV vaccine.
Sparrow and Shadow need the FeLV vaccine because we foster cats, but there is no live attenuated FeLV vaccine, it's just not possible.
I asked one of the vet techs about it, and she proposed that we do the shots inter-muscularly next time, because there is no reactions from that. the fact that they have a reaction to the injections is now written in both their charts.
I didn't research this method yet, but I wanted to ask you gals/guys your opinion about it. Do you know about this method, and if so, what do you think?
