Vaccines are generally used to prevent infectious viral diseases, and we develop biological preparations to inoculate animals to produce corresponding virus-specific antibodies. Vaccinating kittens is basically our common sense. Cats that are not vaccinated are just as streaking as computers without antivirus software. It is not cost-effective and not worth it. How often do you get cat vaccines, do you know?
How often do you get cat vaccines?
Continuous vaccination is required for kittens 3 times, each time interval 3-4 weeks, the adult cat has a relatively healthy immune system, and only needs to be vaccinated twice. However, it also needs to be separated by 3-4 weeks.
Can it be advanced or delayed? What is the impact of each?
Neither can be advanced or delayed, which will affect the effect of the vaccine on producing antibodies , unable to achieve sufficient antibody concentration levels, resulting in immune failure.
The vaccine is given every few years? Why?
The vaccine is usually recommended annually after primary immunization. Because over time, the antibody concentration level in the body will also decrease with time, and may disappear completely in the end. Therefore, it is necessary to vaccinate once a year to ensure that the body maintains a high concentration of antibody levels at all times.
Now we also advocate that whether to continue vaccination can be measured according to the level of antibody concentration in the body. To put it simply, we can measure the concentration of vaccine antibodies in the body every year. If the concentration is high, we can not vaccinate, and if the concentration is low, we will vaccinate again.
How old can kittens be vaccinated?
Generally healthy pet cats can be vaccinated about a week after they are successfully weaned. Of course, if it is a newly bought cat, it is best to take it to the veterinary hospital for a check-up before entering the house, and go home after being vaccinated. During the physical examination, the veterinarian will perform a health check on the kitten, provide a written health certificate, and ask questions about the cat's behavior.
If the parent purchased the adult cat directly, it is also required whether it has been vaccinated when it was young, whether it has received frequent auxiliary injections during the growth stage, and whether it has a recent health certificate.
Vaccine side effects sound scary, isn't it safer not to get vaccinated?
Vaccine side effects are very rare, especially given the current state of The world receives millions of vaccinations every year. The most common side effects are mild and include drowsiness, loss of appetite, or pain to touch at the injection site, usually within 3 days. More serious side effects may include vomiting, diarrhea, lameness, fever, respiratory infections, or a lump at the injection site.
Observation in the vaccination hospital for 20 to 30 minutes after immunization will help doctors detect allergic reactions in cats and take timely measures.
In conclusion, vaccination is a very safe procedure that can greatly reduce the effects of some serious infectious diseases on your cat. However, it is impossible for any drug to be completely free of side effects. The important thing is to choose a safe and reliable vaccine. If there is an abnormality, contact the doctor in time to solve the problem in time.
