New Kitten Question about shots?

Question

Does anyone know the name of the first three shots a kitten needs?

Answer 1

Feline Panleukopenia Virus Vaccine: Feline panleukopenia (also called feline distemper) is a highly contagious and deadly viral disease of kittens. This disease is rare. Feline panleukopenia virus is extremely hardy, is able to survive extremes of temperature and humidity for many months, and is resistant to most available disinfectants. Similar to canine parvovirus, it causes bloody, watery diarrhea and is rapidly fatal. Although an effective treatment protocol is available, it is expensive to treat. Because of the serious nature of the disease and the continued presence of virus in the environment, vaccination is highly recommended for all kittens. Cats vaccinated at 6 months of age or older with will produce an immunity good for life.(15, 20, 21) Adult cats do not need this vaccine. We recommend MLV non- adjuvanted vaccine.
Dr. Pedersen's Duration of Immunity Studies demonstrated immunity by serology & challenge for 7 1/2 years after immunization.(24) This study was reproduced by Dr Michael Lappin. Longer Duration of Immunity studies are pending. Most immunologists feel the protection is lifelong.

Feline Calici virus / Herpesvirus Vaccine: Feline calicivirus and rhinotracheitis (feline herpes virus type I) are responsible for 80-90% of infectious feline upper respiratory tract diseases. Most cats are exposed to either or both of these viruses at some time in their lives. Both indoor as well as outdoor cats are easily exposed to this airborne virus. Once infected, many cats never completely rid themselves of the virus. These "carrier" cats either continuously or intermittently shed the organisms for long periods of time -- perhaps for life -- and serve as a major source of infection to other cats. The infection can also relapse with stress. The currently available vaccines do not completely protect against infection, but will minimize the severity of upper respiratory infections. Because there are over 65 types of Calici virus, no vaccine will prevent disease in all situations.(6, 7 15, 19, 21) Intranasal vaccines used in conjunction with parenteral vaccines may be more effective at preventing the disease entirely(23-p239), and intranasal vaccines will be safer

Cats over one year of age are naturally 89% immune to FeLV (age related resistance) whether they are vaccinated or not, so annual vaccination of adult cats is not necessary.(10, 15-p5, 21-p681,23-p239) Age related immunity is actually better than vaccine induced immunity. (Cats infected at a younger age can still incubate the disease and come down with Leukemia for up to 8+ years.) (Some cats that are infected at a young age can spontaneously become immune and get rid of the virus. This transient viremia can cause residual DNA damage and result in FeLV related cancer years later although the virus has long been gone.)

If your cat is outside getting into fights and exposed to other cats you might want to err on the side of caution and vaccinate for FeLV every three years with a non- adjuvanted vaccine.

Answer 2

Here is a guideline, there are a couple of sets that you will need to get. It depends on whether or not the kitten has already had shots.

To the other dellbell and Ver, there's no such thing as a heartworm shot. I feel so bad for your cats. And you can't give a cat a booster if they haven't already had a shot. Do you even know what booster means?

Answer 3

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about three years back, whilst I was still attending college and had a mindless one-night stand. I understand lots of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date other men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/iyB43 everything improved.

Not only was I able to eradicate all remnants of the hsv from my system in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This system provided the chance to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

Answer 4

It is a combo vaccine called FVRCP they usuall start a vaccine at 3 weeks of age and then every three weeks until they reach 5-6 months of age then they will be given a final vaccine that is good for one year as well as a rabies vaccine which I highly recommend for every feline owner so in case your cat bites someone then you will have proof that your cat has been given a rabies vaccine to safe guard you against a law suit.

Answer 5

A rabies shot and a distemper shot. Distemper is usually given in a shot that contains distemper and a couple of other things.

Answer 6

vaccinate kitties for rabies when they are at least 12 weeks old (or 3 months old), with the standard interval between 3 to 6 months. The combo includes vaccines for chlamydia, feline rhinotracheitis, panleukopenia and calici virus are administered typically at 8 and 12 weeks.

Answer 8

1- get her/him fixed (if they aren't too young
