No sense here either (quiet at the back there). Although there is some logic in not vaccinating given the age protection to the tumour forming aspect to FeLV. Still leaves the immune suppression, although I've never seen that presentation

No, it does go outside and copes very well with it.

just cannot work out the logic of the advice.

Fair enough, then it doesn't make any sense to me either!

[quote user="Clive Ansell"]I have recently seen a new client with a 6 year old cat that has cerebellar hypoplasia, but is otherwise healthy. They have been advised by a previous practice that the cat cannot have Felv vaccinations. It had one 2 years ago by mistake with no adverse effects.[/quote]

Could they have been advised not to let it outside because of the cerebellar hypoplasia, and therefore no need for FeLV vacc?

Makes no sense to me. This is developed in utero so vaccinations should make no difference at all. We had a cat with this. He lived a long and happy life as his symptoms were relatively mild. His goosestep was impressive.

Panleucopenia infection and possibly vaccination during pregnancy were said to be factors in some cases.
