Cat Vaccination at Keysborough Veterinary Practice –
Description
At Keysborough Veterinary Practice, we understand that your cat is a beloved member of your family. One of the most important steps you can take to ensure their long-term health is regular cat vaccination. Vaccinations protect your feline friend from potentially life-threatening diseases, providing them with a strong defense against various infections.
Why Is Cat Vaccination Essential?
Just like humans, cats are susceptible to contagious diseases that can cause serious health issues or even be fatal. Regular cat vaccinations help protect them from these threats, ensuring they lead a healthier and longer life. At Keysborough Veterinary Practice, we follow an established vaccination schedule to ensure your cat gets the necessary protection at each stage of their life.
Common Cat Vaccinations
Our veterinary team at Keysborough recommends several core vaccinations, including:
Feline Herpesvirus (FHV): Protects against respiratory infections.
Feline Calicivirus (FCV): Prevents another type of respiratory illness that affects cats.
Feline Panleukopenia (FPV): Also known as feline distemper, this vaccination guards against a deadly virus that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and severe dehydration.
Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV): Recommended for outdoor cats, this vaccination prevents a virus that weakens a cat’s immune system.
When Should Your Cat Be Vaccinated?
The vaccination schedule for kittens typically begins when they are around 6-8 weeks old and continues with booster shots every few weeks until they are 16 weeks old. After that, your adult cat will require annual booster shots to maintain their immunity.
