Preventing FeLV in Egyptian Mau Cats

There is no cure for the Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) in Egyptian Mau cats or other feline breeds. However, educating yourself about the disease and how to prevent it can help keep your cat healthy and happy. FeLV is the second largest cause of death in cats behind trauma. FeLV is a virus that can cause anemia and lymphoma in cats. It is spread through saliva, blood, and bodily fluids. It is not contagious to other animals. The disease can weaken the immune system causing the cat to become susceptible to other deadly infections. The best prevention for FeLV is to keep your Egyptian Mau cats indoors, vaccinate them, and have them checked for FeLV on a routine basis. Vaccines for cats at high risk of FeLV are available although not 100% guaranteed.  Your vet can help you decide the best route of prevention. For more information, call talk with your professional animal hospital Lansing MI.
