The Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) can devastate your cat’s immune system and make her very ill. She will likely suffer with flu-like fevers and discomfort. She may even demonstrate neurological symptoms. FeLV is incurable and most cats die within two years of contracting the disease. You can treat the underlying infections and symptoms. An infected cat can transmit FeLV by sharing bodily fluids so transmission usually occurs when fighting or grooming with infected cats. Keeping your cat inside and away from other cats helps but isn’t an absolute prevention. Fortunately there is a vaccination to protect your cat from FeLV. Get your cat vaccinated while she is young and keep up on any booster shots. Your cat may be a little feverish after inoculation and she may experience soreness at the injection site. She will need periodic blood tests to ensure that she is protected. Contact your vet Downey, CA to learn more.
