Feline leukemia vaccine??
I'd like to know what the opinion's are on the feline leukemia vaccine.

I gather you didn't bother reading it before 'correcting'. Laura Chill. It did not read as a "correction", Laura. just added info. Do you read every link everyone posts before you post info you may personally know? Karen |

Rita As some others have suggested, I would use the vaccine as long as the cat is permitted to go outside. Best, however, would be if you could re-train the cat to be indoor only and then discontinue the vaccine.
