"Feline Spay/Neuter/Vaccination Clinic Liability Release Form." You can read the Vaccination Information handout for info on all vaccines offered. We DO NOT Felv/FIV test routinely at a clinic, you will need to schedule an appointment for that unless we are testing at time of surgery. We will not vaccinate unhealthy cats, cats on antibiotics, cats that are too thin, etc. If your cat is deemed unhealthy, for WHATEVER reason, we will NOT vaccinate. We will not vaccinate nursing moms if the kittens are under 4 weeks of age. If you just applied a flea/tick prevention product, dewormer, ear mite med etc, do not bring in your cat for vaccinations for a few days since they can have reactions to the aforementioned products.
Fear Free recommends covering carriers with a towel to decrease anxiety, spraying the towel with Feliway 30 minutes before transport, playing soft music on the trip or Through a Cat's Ear CD, and placing the carrier on the floor behind the passenger seat.
THERE IS INFO ON THIS WEBSITE ABOUT GETTING CATS INTO CARRIERS UNDER CARRIER WARS AND MAKING THEIR TRIP TO THE VET MORE FEAR FREE. PLEASE CHECK OUT CATFRIENDLY.COM FOR MORE INFO.
We ONLY use Boehringer Ingelheim vaccines for cats due to their efficacy and low risk of adverse vaccine reactions. We have recently started using the 1/2ml BI vaccines which are just as efficacious, same low risk of adverse reactions, but a smaller volume which may reduce discomfort. BI uses cutting edge technology to develop their vaccines. The PureVax line for cats does not contain any adjuvants which means they are less likely to cause sarcomas.
We utilize the most current vaccination guidelines along with the most up to date information we acquire every year at continuing education classes. The Rabies vaccine is administered in the lower part of the right hind limb below the stifle close to the hock. The Distemper vaccine is administered in the right front limb below the elbow close to the carpus. The Leukemia vaccine is administered in the lower part of the left hind limb below the stifle close to the hock.
FELINE DISTEMPER VACCINE: Includes Rhinotracheitis, Calici, Panleukopenia: CORE VACCINE:
LOW RISK KITTENS/CATS: <16 WKS OF AGE: VACCINATE AT 8,12,16 WKS, REPEAT IN 1 YR THEN EVERY 3 YRS; 16 WKS-1 YR: GIVE 1-2 VACCS 2-4 WKS APART, REPEAT IN 1YR THEN EVERY 3YRS; OVER 1 YR: VACCINATE ONCE, REPEAT IN 1 YR THEN EVERY 3 YRS
HIGH RISK KITTENS/CATS: <16 WKS OF AGE: VACCINATE AT 8,12,16 WKS, THEN CONSIDER REPEATING IN 6 MOS INSTEAD OF 1 YEAR THEN EVERY 3 YRS; 16 WKS-1 YR: GIVE 1-2 VACCS 2-4 WKS APART THEN CONSIDER REPEATING IN 6 MOS INSTEAD OF 1 YR THEN EVERY 3 YRS; OVER 1 YR: VACCINATE ONCE THEN REPEAT IN 1 YR THEN EVERY 3 YRS
The vaccine prevents Panleukopenia or Distemper. The vaccine does not prevent infection or the carrier state with Herpes or Calici but does minimize clinical signs.
Rhinotracheitis (FVR), caused by a herpes virus, produces clinical signs like sneezing, nasal discharge, fever, eye inflammation/ulcers/rupture, anorexia, tracheitis and chronic sinusitis/rhinitis. Kittens can be born with FVR, can show illness at 5-8 wks, and become infected lifelong with stress/illness causing reactivation. This highly contagious virus is spread by direct contact with oral, nasal and ocular secretions between cats or fomites. Death can often occur. Chronic carriers may appear normal. Previously infected animals will shed the virus when the virus is reactivated, like periods of stress and may exhibit clinical signs at that time.
Calicivirus (FVC) may present as an upper respiratory infection with eye and nose involvement, as an oral/nasal ulcerative disease, as pneumonia, as acute arthritis or a combination. Kittens are often 2-6 mos old, often have a fever, spread the virus through oral and nasal secretions and fomites, and if they become persistently infected can spread the virus for years. It can cause very acute onset and death despite even aggressive treatment. Chronic carriers of this virus can appear perfectly normal. Cats previously infected will shed the virus for a very long time, possibly for life, at all times.
Panleukopenia (FVP or Distemper), caused by the feline parvovirus, is characterized by sudden fever, depression, vomiting, diarrhea, head over the water bowl syndrome and severe dehydration. The highly contagious virus stays in the environment for months to years, is spread through contact with infected cats, the mouth, nose, other cats and people in contact. Mortality is about 50-70% despite treatment. Cats that appear to be getting better can suddenly die. If infected during gestation, signs like tremors or incoordination from cerebellar hypoplasia around 2-3 weeks of age+ can occur.
FELINE RECOMBINANT LEUKEMIA VACCINE: Vaccinate twice, 2-4 wks apart, Repeat every year
All cats MUST be FeLV tested before administration. FeLV is a core vaccination for all kittens up to and including 1 year of age and for at-risk cats. Since leukemia in kittens progresses quickly to death unlike in adults, the leukemia vaccine is considered a CORE vaccine for kittens.
A VACCINATION CLINIC IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR AN EXAM. ANIMALS ARE NOT GIVEN A PHYSICAL EXAM AT THE VACCINATION CLINIC. ALL PUPPIES AND KITTENS NEED AN EXAM. ALL DOGS AND CATS NEED AN ANNUAL OR A SEMI-ANNUAL EXAM. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL PETS CAN BE MADE AN EXAM APPT.
