Immunizations

Correct. Do not vaccinate for FELV.

I concur.

I am glad these threads are being brought up. When I get a chance I will begin collecting info together into my thread about info to give to vets.

I think a one page info sheet for vets would be very helpful. I know when Tink had TF, I brought info in for my vet and everyone in the office was called to look at the slide under the microscope when she was diagnosed. Sue

Have a look at the Merck veterinary manual: that is as close as you get to a series of one-pagers!

What I was trying to say, is a one page of things specific to a savannah that could be given to a vet that is not familiar with the breed. Sue

And I must admit, the Merck index IS more than one page
Problem is, what has the highest priority. Ideas, anyone?

Quick question. Does the advice about not giving FELV vaccine apply particularly to Savannahs and not other breeds? And if so, what is the theory behind this!

Ooops! That was supposed to be a question mark, not an exclamation point at end of my question.

The risk bit is important, as is also underlined in the thread referenced by Paige.
