These vaccines will keep me safe and healthy!
Why vaccinate? A routine vaccination program significantly increases your pet's likelihood of living a normal, healthy life. Vaccination has allowed us as owners and veterinarians to reduce the risk of serious consequences of certain illnesses in the cats we love. Cats, both indoor and outdoor, are susceptible to a variety of infectious diseases. Vaccinating your cat helps protect them from diseases and viruses they may be exposed to several times in their lifetime.
Feline Panleukopenia-sometimes called "feline distemper" causes severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. It is the most widespread disease of cats and causes high death loss especially among kittens. The disease is caused by a virus and is highly contagious.
Feline Rhinotracheitis-widespread respiratory disease caused by a virus. It is most severe in small kittens and can cause profuse discharge from the eyes and nose.
Feline Calicivirus- causes a variety of symptoms including fever, excess salivation and mouth or tongue ulcers. It is usually less fatal than rhinotracheitis or panleukopenia.
Feline Pneumonitis- respiratory infection with symptoms resembling feline viral rhinotracheitis. The disease is caused by the organism Chlamydia psittaci and can be complicated by associated bacterial infections.
Feline Leukemia-a form of cancer in cats which is usually fatal. The disease, caused by a virus, can lead to tumor growth nealy anywhere in the body as well as a variety of other symptoms. Infected cats are unable to resist other diseases and often die from associated infections.
Rabies-probably the most feared.. The rabies virus attacks the brain and is always fatal. Most pets are exposed to rabies by bites from wild animals particularly skunks, raccoons, bats and foxes. The diseases can be trasmitted to humans through the bite or scratch of an infected pet. Vaccination of all dogs and cats is the most effective means of control.
