Some people think that once pets are vaccinated, their safety is absolutely guaranteed, which is wrong. In fact, some vaccines can be manufactured with a protection rate of 70% to 80%. As the range of pets raised in recent years has become more and more extensive, foxes have become one of the common pets in our daily life, so it is essential to vaccinate foxes, so how do we properly use fox vaccines for foxes What?

Arctic Fox

1. The body of the fox: When the vaccine is injected, the fox must be healthy and disease-free, with good nutritional status and good quality, and adapt to the environmental conditions at that time (except for emergency vaccination).

2. Age factor: Young foxes are inhibited by maternal antibodies passively obtained from their mothers. Although their antibodies have been formed, they are not yet perfected; the immune function of old foxes is gradually declining. Therefore, vaccination should be carried out 1 week after weaning of young foxes or in strict accordance with the instructions for use of the vaccine. Premature inoculation of maternal antibodies (surviving within 2 weeks after litter weaning) will interfere with attenuated vaccines and inhibit the production of active immune antibodies; if inoculated too late, the immune effect will decline or disappear.

3. Influence of incubation period or other diseases: Foxes are in the incubation period of a certain infectious disease, and bacteria or viruses already exist in the body. At this time, injection of attenuated vaccine can promote the occurrence of infectious diseases or affect the immune effect.

4. Fox immune negative period: When the vaccine is injected for the first time, it needs to go through a certain incubation period to form antibodies. When the vaccine is injected again, the residual antibodies in the body quickly combine with the newly introduced antigen, but the original antibody level decreases, that is, a short negative period occurs. At this time, the fox body is in a special susceptible period. Therefore, when injecting vaccines, we should seize the opportunity to avoid this immune-negative period.

5. The problem of the vaccine itself: the vaccine market is chaotic, and you should find a reputable manufacturer when buying vaccines. When injecting vaccines, it is necessary to strictly follow the regulations of the vaccine instructions. If the injection amount is too small, the immune effect will not be achieved. If the injection amount is too large, the formation of antibodies will be inhibited, that is, immune paralysis. Some vaccines have side effects after injection. For such problems, please consult the manufacturer or relevant experts in time. Serotype differences Some infectious diseases have many serotypes. If the serotype corresponding to the local circulating strain is not selected for the injection vaccine, the immunization will fail.
