After preparing the items that the cat needs and choosing the cat that suits you, you are not in a hurry to bring the cat home. First, you need to send the cat to the hospital for examination, and you will need to be vaccinated a few days later before you can rest assured. Bring the cat home safely. So what vaccines do cats need?
The cat triple vaccine is mainly used for the prevention of feline infectious diseases. The cat triple vaccine is a triple vaccine, which can prevent three kinds of viral infections, including the expansion of Feline Distemper, Feline Infectious Rhinotracheitis, and Feline Calicivirus.
Common feline triple vaccines are The Netherlands, Vick, France, Pfizer, and Fortune. Vaccines are classified into attenuated vaccines and inactivated vaccines according to their nature. Attenuated vaccines, also known as live attenuated vaccines, have better immunization effects and fewer inoculations, but they may be infected with bacteria, and storage requirements are stricter. The Netherlands Intervey belongs to the attenuated vaccine. Inactivated vaccines are safe, but the immune effect is short-lived, requiring repeated vaccinations, and the immune effect is average. The Fudo vaccine is an inactivated vaccine. In general, attenuated vaccines are better than inactivated vaccines, but in terms of safety, inactivated vaccines are better, especially for kittens and sick cats, inactivated vaccines should be selected when vaccinating. Parents can choose which vaccine to receive according to the physical condition of their babies, but we recommend that healthy cats should choose attenuated vaccines.
What should be paid attention to when injecting cat triple combination:
1. Physical examination, complete health, no upper respiratory tract infection, no diarrhea, normal body temperature, and good mental state
2. Pregnant cats are prohibited from using attenuated vaccines (to avoid miscarriage)
3. Use with caution in nursing cats
4. Use with caution in frail cats ( Including newly purchased cats and newly adopted stray cats, quarantine and observation for two weeks)
5. Cats who have been in contact with cats with infectious diseases but have not become sick should avoid vaccination within two weeks Isolation and observation, if the cat has been in contact with a cat with feline distemper but has not been vaccinated, an emergency serum injection is required (vaccination is allowed two weeks after the injection of serum)
6. If the cat has an allergic reaction after being injected with the vaccine (Facial edema, shortness of breath, itching, etc.) should be desensitized in time to avoid contact with sick cats with infectious diseases during the vaccination period (usually, immunity will develop seven days after vaccination)
The immunization program of the cat triple combination:
1. The basic immunization of kittens should be vaccinated for the first time at the age of nine to twelve weeks, and the interval between the second and the first vaccination should be three to four weeks. , once a year thereafter.
2. Adult cats need to be vaccinated twice if they have not been vaccinated before, and only need to be boosted once a year if they have been vaccinated before.
3. About the immunization program of stray cats: in epidemic areas where infectious diseases are more prevalent and in winter and spring, attention must be paid to the isolation and observation of stray cats (immunoglobulin or serum can be injected if conditions permit). After two weeks, the vaccine can be injected after confirming that the body is healthy, and the group will be mixed after seven days.
4. Try to avoid sterilization surgery and vaccination at the same time, preferably two weeks before surgery, if it is too late to be vaccinated, you can inject serum or immune globulin during surgery.
