/* ---------- "Feline Leukemia" ---------- */

I took my 2 3-year-old cats to the vet this morning for their annual shots.
...I thought I would clear up some miscopnceptions of the disease that were
pertepuated in this newsgroup about 6 months ago. 

...and it is always fatal.  
/* End of text from convexs:net.pets */

One of the reasons there are so many "miscopnceptions" about things of 
this nature is that so many people claim to have the "right and only" 
TRUE answer.  According to my vet (and a handout from the manufacturers
of the vaccine), about two-thirds of the cats that get FL die -- the 
rest become carriers.  So who's right?  I don't know, but the odds are 
against you either way.
