Vaccination is the same mandatory procedure as vaccination of humans. And you need to vaccinate not only yard animals, but also those that live in the house. And this is despite the fact that it would seem that there is nowhere for pets to get infected with various infections. The vaccination schedule has long been approved by veterinarians and must be respected by pet owners who love their pets.
Instructions
Step 1
It is necessary to vaccinate a domestic cat because each person, going outside, brings with him to the house various infections on clothes, shoes, bags, gloves, etc. These microbes can be fatal to pets that are not immune to these viruses and bacteria. Therefore, you need to take care of the formation of good immunity in your pet in advance.
Step 2
Consider the approved vaccination schedule and try to follow it. So, for example, the first vaccination of a cat must be done at the age of about 4, 5 months or 18 weeks (after that revaccination will be required, which the doctor should warn you about). Then the cat needs to be vaccinated annually. If you took a kitten from a mother who regularly received the necessary vaccinations, you need to start vaccinating your baby from 12 weeks of age.
Step 3
Cats are given different vaccinations. For example, from rabies. The modern vaccine is quite harmless to animals, unlike its previous counterparts. Risak from the development of rabies is many times worse - after all, the animal's nervous system suffers.
Step 4
You can also give a domestic cat a comprehensive vaccination. A variety of vaccine options may be offered to pet owners. One of them protects immediately from viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus infection, panleukopenia. This vaccination is given from 12 weeks and is repeated annually. Vaccine "Leukorifelin" protects the animal from a whole range of viral diseases. An injection of such a vaccine can be given for the first time to a kitten at the age of 7 weeks. There is a separate vaccine that protects against rhinotracheitis, chlamydia, calcivirus. This vaccine is repeated every year.
Step 5
Cats are also vaccinated against such a disease that is dangerous to humans - from taxoplasmosis. Cats can become infected through food, if they eat dirty food, eat mice or rats in the house, as well as through dirt from the floor, when the cat picks up bacteria from the dirt that the owner brought to the apartment on shoes. Only here it should be borne in mind that such a vaccine does not protect 100%. In addition to the vaccine, it is necessary to add a thorough hygiene of the home, to monitor the cleanliness of the cat's plates, and not to allow the animal to hunt rodents.
Step 6
The owner of the animal chooses which vaccination to give. However, it is best to listen to your doctor's advice. After all, a number of diseases are characteristic of a particular region or type of house. So, for example, if you live in an apartment, you can bring one infection into the house. If your home is in the private sector, these are completely different diseases.
