When to vaccinate kittens?

If a kitten appears in your house, regardless of whether he lives isolated or communicates with other four-legged, he must be vaccinated against certain diseases. When you vaccinate a kitten, you not only keep your health, but maybe life for your pet, but also protect yourself. Unfortunately, some diseases are transmitted from animal to human.

When should kittens be vaccinated?

Usually, the kittens are given the first vaccine when they are already two months old, but this is provided that the kitten is absolutely healthy and before your very eyes it was fed by mother's milk. But when to vaccinate kittens, which are picked up on the street, can only be resolved by a veterinarian after the examination.

You must prepare your pet for vaccination. Carefully examine the baby, and if you find any skin disease or parasites, treat it. In addition, ten days before the vaccination, the kitten needs to be treated prophylactically from helminths. After all, the presence of any parasite reduces immunity, and the effects of vaccination can be unpredictable.

After three or four weeks after the first vaccination, a booster is given.

But vaccinations for kittens, when their age falls during the time of changing teeth, can not be done. We need to wait for this period to end, and then vaccinate. When the kitten is one year old, he is given a fourth inoculation and is then vaccinated once a year.

Diseases from which graft kittens

The first, and all subsequent vaccinations for kittens are carried out using a polyvalent vaccine, which includes the prevention of several dangerous diseases simultaneously, most of which are viral. These are rhinotracheitis (herpesvirus), plague of cats (panleukopenia), calciviroz and leptospirosis.

There are vaccines that can be vaccinated against chlamydia, dermatomycosis and leukemia.

It is important to coordinate the schedule of vaccinations with kittens with a veterinarian who will vaccinate your pets. This procedure can be carried out both in the clinic and at home. If you are planning to travel with your pet, the doctor will tell you when to vaccinate kittens from rabies. The vaccine is administered according to the law, and all information about vaccination should be entered in the veterinary passport, which leads to an animal.

Some kittens may experience individual intolerance to certain components of the vaccine. Therefore, after the kitten is vaccinated, it is necessary to observe it to provide medical assistance if necessary.

It is better to plant the kitten and be calm than to neglect vaccination and subsequently regret it.
