Talk:Feline panleukopenia

message: The risks of distemper vaccination have become a prominent issue of late, and are worthy of discussion.  It is also worth mentioning that annual vaccinations for distemper have become less common among many veterinarians, because its "just ridiculous" as reported by the AVMA and other veterinary sites.  I previously had unintentionally worded the discussion as medical advice.  However, I am not a veterinarian and had intended to word this as a simple statement of common beliefs among veterinarians based on articles linked in the reference section.
Bk0 removed the section that was worded as medical advice.  I reworded it to be a simple statement of findings that can be verified by following the links to the colorado research summary and the AVMA vaccination site.  TAsunder 14:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The current lead of the article reads, "Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), also known as Feline infectious enteritis, Feline distemper,[1] feline ataxia, or cat plague,[2] is a viral infection affecting cats, both domesticated and wild feline species. While often mistaken for feline distemper, the two conditions are not synonymous." What two conditions? This is very confusing. Is FPV not the same as feline distemper? If not, then why is there a redirect to FPV and not an article on feline distemper? -Jordgette [talk] 20:45, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

These 2 statements contradict each other and the citation given (Merck manuals) does not refer to panleukopenia as canine distemper on the page at all, so why was this written? I will correct it to reflect the citation.
From my recent lectures (2nd yr vet school student) I know Feline panleukopenia virus = feline parvovirus, I haven't studied about feline distemper but some large Felidae (big cat species) are susceptible to canine distemper so maybe this is the cause of the confusion?
Also the second citation doesn't seem a good source of information for a scientific wiki article when the Merck manual is available online with a whole page on it, though it may be helpful for people with less knowledge trying to find out more.

“Feline distemper” redirects here, but the article says they are not the same thing. Should feline distemper have [ an article] of its own?  Or, if the virii are related, then feline distemper should have a detailed section on it.  Bwrs (talk) 23:44, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
