Preventing FeLV in Scottish Fold Cats

Although there is no cure for the FeLV virus (Feline Leukemia Virus) there are ways to help keep your cat protected. If you’re concerned about your Scottish Fold, talk to your vet London, ON about possible vaccines, prevention and even identifying symptoms at an early stage. 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 Scottish Fold 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. Visit this link to know more.
