If you own a Siamese or other breed of cat then you should talk to your veterinarian Myrtle Beach, SC about the FeLV virus and how you can protect your cat. FeLV stands for the Feline Leukemia Virus which is a virus found only in cats. The virus can cause anemia and lymphoma and is the second largest cause of death among cats. The risk of contracting FeLV is very low for indoor cats. However, if you have a multi-cat home the risk increases especially with cats that share the same water and food bowls or even litter boxes. Senior cats are also more susceptible to the virus because of their age and inability to fight off illness. Outdoor cats are more susceptible to the virus as well due to their contact with other cats that could be infected. One of the best ways to protect your cat is to have her vaccinated at an early age.
