Good Morning,
I have recently adopted an approximately 8 year old formerly stray male cat. We had him neutered, and tested for leukemia and FIV. He is negative for leukemia, but unfortunately dose have FIV.
He also received his vaccinations and I was told by our Vet that because he is an older cat, it is not necessary to bring him back for a second dose in 3 to 4 weeks like we have done with all of my other younger cats. (even though we assume this was the first time he was ever vaccinated).
I have searched for information regarding cat vaccines online, and keep reading that they need that second dose. Dose anyone have any experience with vaccinating older cats for the first time? I want to make sure he is protected, and I do trust my vet, but I just keep reading contradictory information.
Thanks so much for any advice or info you can provide.
This is Tom btw
