During the first year of life of a furry pet, its owners should be especially attentive to its health in order to protect it from dangerous infections and diseases. However, not all owners know how to properly care for their four-legged friend, how to feed him, what toys to give him, whether to give a kitten a vaccination or do without it.
The answer is unequivocal: to do. After all, to fully protect the health of your pet is possible only with the help of vaccination. Numerous diseases are transmitted by airborne droplets, therefore it is better to get vaccinated in advance than to treat the animal for a serious illness later. After all, some
feline diseases are very dangerous for both the pet and its owners.
If you think that by not walking the kitten, you protect it from disease, you are mistaken. He can still catch the infection that you bring from the street on the sole of his shoes. Therefore, to reliably protect the health of your pet, vaccination is simply necessary.
However, you need to know what vaccinations a kitten should do, because they are not good for everyone. The following contraindications:
- exhaustion;
- elevated temperature;
- weakening of the body;
- period of growth and change of teeth;
- Suspicion of infection of the kitten by the pathogen against which vaccination is carried out.
When and what vaccinations to give a kitten, they will tell you in a veterinary clinic. But 2 weeks before vaccination, it is necessary to rid the kitten of worms. To do this, give the animal special pills. It is best to mix them in food.
There are a huge number of vaccinations and vaccines for animals. The most popular of them are drugs "Nobivak", "Multifel", "Wakderm".
The first of these is a rabies virus vaccine. It is administered intramuscularly. Because of this, the kitten may limp slightly. This vaccine must be administered annually.
"Multifel" - this vaccine against several viruses at once: panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, chlamydia of kittens. It is carried out in two stages in the first year of a pet's life. After this procedure, the kitten can be lethargic and sad for a day.
Vakderm vaccination is also carried out against several viruses. This is the prevention of various skin diseases of cats. Requires revaccination after 2 weeks.
So what vaccinations do a kitten have?
The first vaccinations are given to kittens at the age of 2-3 months. A prerequisite for vaccination - the animal must be absolutely healthy. Otherwise, the entire effectiveness of the procedure will come to naught. So, the first vaccination is given to a kitten against calcivirosis, panleukopenia and rhinotrachetitis (Multifel preparation). Repeatedly they put it strictly after 21-28 days. At about the same time (a month after the first vaccination), the Novibak drug for rabies is administered.
Vaccination is carried out only by a specialist who, after examining the animal, decides which vaccinations the kitten should receive based on information about the age, place and time of the acquisition of the animal, its state of appetite, activity, etc.
Therefore, after acquiring a pet, it is necessary to undergo a complete veterinary examination. Today, there are many clinics that vaccinate kittens. Prices for such procedures are significantly lower compared to the price of the health of your pets. One vaccine will cost you anywhere from 500 to 1000 rubles.
Take care of your pets and they will give you joy, good mood and love.
