Feline Leukemia

Sunday, October 21st, 2012

Yesterday one of my cats died of feline leukemia. Now that I know the signs I think my other 2 cats have the deadly disease. It is in the beginning stages for both of them, but so far they are only loosing their teeth. We have been buying them soft cat food to help them eat. Is it to late to save them? Will a vaccine still work for them?  Thanks.
