Chlamydea in cats?

Question
I called a vet to see about shots for my kitten. The woman who answered the phone (not the vet) told me (among other things) she needs to be vacinated for Chlamydea. I questioned that because as far as I know, it's a sexually transmitted disease in humans. She said it is feline leukemia. Is that correct?

Answer
Chlamydia is NOT feline leukemia.  There are many types of chlamydia organisms, one of which causes a venereal disease.  Other types can cause trachoma in people, which is a disease that can cause blindness.  But in cats, it usually causes a disease called pneumonitis, which is an upper respiratory infection often causing a watery or pus filled eye and sneezing. Vaccination is somewhat effective, but not always.  Teatment is fairly easy with a drug called azithromycin.  Ask your vet about that.
