Feline Leukemia virus (FeLV) suppresses the cat's immune system, leaving it unable to fight off other infections, such
as pneumonia. FeLV can also cause cancer.
A few cats recover from a brief FeLV infection and rid themselves of the virus. But if permanent infection occurs, death
almost always results. Any cat that is in continuing poor health or that often becomes sick with infections or fever may
have feline leukemia. The Suwanee Animal Hospital can do a simple blood test to find out if your cat is infected with
FeLV.
Feline Leukemia vaccination is an important part of cat preventative health programs. Two initial doses
are recommended three weeks apart, followed by annual boosters.
