How feline leukemia virus is transmitted
Feline leukemia is a common non-traumatic fatal disease in cats.
Feline leukemia is a common non-traumatic fatal disease in cats.
There are many viral diseases that can affect cats, some of which can be very serious or even fatal.
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a contagious disease that can be transmitted from one cat to another through saliva, blood, urine, and feces.
If you have a cat infected with feline leukemia, it is recommended not to have other cats for the time being.
Most cats with FeLV live normal lives, but their life span tends to be significantly shorter.
A relatively effective vaccine against FeLV is available, although it will not protect 100% of cats vaccinated.
Kittens can be tested as early as six weeks of age.
No test is (or ever will be)100% accurate, but the current tests for FeLV are generally very good.
We strongly recommend testing every cat, whether an adult or kitten, for the FIV virus.
