If a cat lives in the house, then its owners should take care of vaccinations. Even in the case when the animal does not go beyond the threshold of the apartment, infection with some dangerous virus is possible. There is a chance to bring it on dirty shoes or some other things. In addition, any trip to the veterinarian for an unvaccinated pet is dangerous, because in the clinic there are animals with various diseases in the queue to see the doctor.
Why should a cat be vaccinated
The most dangerous diseases for these animals are rabies, feline distemper, viral leukemia, rhinotracheitis, etc. Vaccination of a cat will protect your pet from dangerous viruses. This is especially important if you plan to travel with an animal in the summer to the country or even travel. But what if your pet is a very thoroughbred person? and you will attend exhibitions, here vaccinations are simply mandatory. For each animal, the veterinarian starts a passport, which marks the dates of vaccination and the types of vaccine.
Cat vaccination according to the rules
Vaccinate only he althy cats. Not bad days 10 before vaccination to carry out prophylaxis - deworming. Worms produce toxins that weakenanimals. It is useless and even dangerous to vaccinate such cats, since a vaccinated pet with a weakened immune system can even get sick. Also, on the eve of vaccination, antihistamines should be taken to avoid an allergic reaction. If
cat is vaccinated, then kittens begin to be vaccinated at 12 weeks. What if the mother is not vaccinated? or you don’t know anything about her, then it’s better to do it early - at 8 weeks. Babies should not be vaccinated while they are changing teeth. After the first vaccination of the kitten, revaccination is carried out after a while. Babies do not yet have time to develop a sufficient amount of antibodies, and those obtained with mother's milk already disappear by this age. Immunity is established 10 days after vaccination. During this period, you should protect the pet from hypothermia, you can not wash it, you can not walk with it. In the future, the cat is vaccinated once a year.
When cats should not be vaccinated
Vaccination of cats that are "in position" is unacceptable, it is better to do this at least a month before mating. Nursing mothers should also not be vaccinated. If the animal was treated with antibiotics, then in this case you will have to wait a couple of weeks after taking the drugs. There is a situation when a cat has been in contact with sick animals and is at the initial stage of the disease. Then vaccination should be cancelled. Here it is possible to use hyperimmune serum, which contains antibodies to viruses and will support the immunity of a sick animal.
What vaccinations are used for cats
Vaccinations are monovalent - against one disease, and polyvalent, which protect against several diseases at once. The Nobivac TRICAT vaccine produced in the Netherlands is currently very common. It protects against rhinotracheitis, panleukopenia and calcivirosis. Vaccination of cats against rabies is carried out with the drug of the same manufacturer "Nobivak Rabies". Good results are obtained by the annual complex vaccination of cats "Nobivak Triket" and "Nobivak Rabies". The French preparations Quadricat and Fort-Dodge Laboratori produced in the USA are also easily tolerated by animals. But Russian vaccines are very heavy, after them cats feel bad for several days.
