I'd speak to your vet about maybe not having the FeLV part of the vaccine

BTW
Just seen how cheap these vac are to buy

and jet vets charge about £55, what a nice mark up

Yes your vet would booster the same as her inital vaccinations, you can booster with a different brand if you want to or leave out the chlamydia and felv bit, imo this vax completely overloads the cats system! Of all the vaccines the felv part causes most reactions.
Chlamydia vaccination isnt particularly important, does she have contact with lots of new and strange cats?
Personally id go for the key 3 - flu and enteritis, you can phone the vets for their opinion in advance

A very warm  :welcome: to Purrs.

I've just found this thread which you may find of interest although I would encourage you to speak openly with your vet about your concerns.  The booster doesn't need to be given exactly 12 months after initial vaccine; it can be left a while longer giving her a little time to recover from her paw injury which I hope is healing well.

Please feel free to post pics of your lovely cat and tell us her name  :)

Booster question.

Hello, I´m new to this forum so firstly can I thank anyone who reads this and can answer my query.

We have a lovely cat who has had her first two vaccinations and is, shortly, due her booster. Based on her vet record card I can see she had Fevaxyn Pentofel in the first two: after which she was quite ill and not herself. Does anyone know if the booster is the same type of vaccine as I´m a little concerned that she may be a bit weak (following an injury to her paw and quite a lot of vet visits in the last few weeks.)

Thank you
