Cats, like humans, need constant monitoring of their health and maintain immunity to dangerous diseases. If there is a need for this, the cat needs to be vaccinated, this will help protect it from illness during an epidemic, as well as maintain health and develop immunity for a long period. You can always go to a veterinary clinic for vaccination, but if you decide to give injections yourself, it is important to follow simple rules.
It is necessary
- - vaccine;
- - syringe;
- - an anthelmintic agent.
Instructions
Step 1
As soon as a kitten appears in the house, be sure to consult with your veterinarian and find out when, how and in what sequence you need to vaccinate. Some vaccinations are given only in clinics, while others you can give your cat at home on your own. In any case, before giving an injection to your pet, get the recommendations of a specialist and in no case do not put any vaccines on your own without prior consultation. Remember that your cat must be in normal condition during the vaccination period, if it shows any signs of discomfort with the vaccination you must wait.
Step 2
Give your cat an anthelmintic one week before vaccination. Even if you are absolutely sure that the animal does not have any worms, it is better to insure yourself. Under the action of the vaccine, the helminths in the animal's body begin to die, which causes severe intoxication and deterioration, and during the formation of a reaction with the production of antibodies, this can seriously affect the cat's health and call into question the success of vaccination.
Step 3
As a rule, most vaccines are designed for intramuscular administration, but some of them are placed at the withers under the skin. Modern drugs are produced both in the form of ready-made solutions for administration, sometimes even immediately in a syringe with a needle, and in the form of two-phase suspensions that require dissolution. Draw liquid into a syringe, squeeze out any excess air and, if necessary, cover the needle with a cap. Follow the directions in the directions carefully and place the injection exactly as directed. Everything must be done with a quick and confident movement, if you linger, you can cause unnecessary excitement in the cat, and she may not even notice a short manipulation.
