Vaccination And
Annual Health Check For Cats |
|
We recommend vaccination for all cats to protect
them against certain diseases. We offer two different vaccination courses for
cats:- 1)FELIGEN RCP This is the 'standard' cat vaccine which protects your
kitten from cat 'flu due to two different viruses - calicivirus and feline
herpes virus, and also from feline enteritis. CAT 'FLU can cause serious
disease which may be fatal in young kittens. Even if the cat recovers, it can
become a carrier of the virus and have episodes of 'flu for the rest of its
life. FELINE ENTERITIS causes severe sickness and diarrhoea and is often
fatal. 2)LEUCOGEN protects your cat against FELINE LEUKAEMIA VIRUS infection.
This infection is quite common - about 10% of healthy cats in the UK are
carrying the virus and your cat can become infected from one of these. This
virus kills more cats in the UK than any other single infection. To protect a
kitten against all these diseases, two injections three weeks apart are
required , starting from at least 9 weeks old. Once a kitten has received its
initial course of injections, it will be protected for 12 months. After this,
it will need a single booster injection every year to keep it protected. |
