Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2005Ping Philip re Conan's records
Hello Philip, We have just become aware that Conan was vaccinated for FIV at the shelter (and all of the cats there are!). I won't go into how angry we are about this (it is a vaccine that is not recommended, but the deed is done and he will test positive because of it). It is vital for us to get any records we can also to be able to see when and if he was tested before vaccination. Could you please e-mail me with a valid address or some way of contacting you (I can also provide you privately with a fax number), so we can get this ASAP. Thank you so much, M. > Hello Philip, > > We have just become aware that Conan was vaccinated for FIV at the shelter > (and all of the cats there are!). Oh Jebus God almighty! /me bangs head on desk... -L. >> Hello Philip, >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > /me bangs head on desk... > -L. Hey ... I MADE A BIG STINK about the shelter vaccinating Omar (8 wk old kitten) for FIV. Shelter said this is required ... (state law? I don't know) and the kitten would not be released without all that. Omar's paperwork lists the FELV/FIV as part of a package of vaccinations. Not surpriseingly, Omar caught mild sniffles and wet sneezes on the second day and for the following 6days. He's fine now. > >> Hello Philip, > >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > kitten) for FIV. Shelter said this is required ... (state law? I don't > know) Not as far as I know. The only legally required vaccine is rabies - unless it is an OC law or something - which wouldn't surprise me. >and the kitten would not be released without all that.

He's fine now. Those people have their heads up their butts. There is no reason to do an FIV vaccine. Just keep in mind that me may test positive and may or may not continue to test positive, for FIV, if he is tested for it. The sad part is, if he gets loose and ends up at another shelter, and you don't find him in time, he could be euthanized because he's "FIV pos". -L. snip >> Omar's >> paperwork lists the FELV/FIV as part of a package of vaccinations.

Consider this: When a "stray" is picked up that has not been chipped and tests FIV+, be more likely to be euthanized than another stray who has been chipped, and tests FIV+? SURELY shelter DVMs know of this weakness in the test by know. > Hello Philip, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > M. Isn't it SOP to test before giving the vaccination?
