Feline Vaccines?

Question

whats the vaccine schdule for a 2yr old cat..who never had vaccnines...and how much will it all cost? also how much would a dewormer cost?

Answer 1

I think vaccines are supposed to be yearly, but I have indoor cats....I don't get them vaccines that often b/c it can be pricey. If they were outdoor, I'd definitely do it more. You should check with different Vet offices, prices may vary a little. Some are even state funded, so you can get vaccines/spaying/neutering done cheaper. Contact your local SPCA, they may have more info.

Answer 2

You might want to go to: www.littlebigcat.com. Dr Jean Hovfe has an article titled "Vaccinations" you can read. It is at the end of her article list. She also has some updates on recent veterinary descisions about vaccinations in her newsletter archives.

As to cost, that will vary depending on the community where you live. There are low-cost clinics - some come around to pet stores on Sundays where you can get vaccinations. I think they only give the FVRCP and rabies which is all most cats should have.

It's not a great idea to give vaccines more than one at a time. Some cats can really be "down" or even have a worse reaction from vaccination. So if you do it without a vet (or even with a vet) I would do one and then return in three weeks to do another.

Answer 3

If the cat has never had vaccines then he would start off just like a kitten would...he would get a first distemper vaccination and then 4 weeks later he would get a second and also likely his rabies vaccination.He then would be all set for a year.After he received his distemper vaccination booster in a year you would only need to revaccinate every 2 - 3 years.
There is no way to tell you how much things would cost since it varies from vet to vet and also depending on where you live,

Answer 4

For a cat that has never been to a vet, they should get a feline distemper (FVRCP) vaccination and a rabies vaccination (both are yearly). A stool sample should be brought to the vet and they will determine if the cat has worms and will give you a dewormer.
A FIV/FeLV test is a good idea too to rule out feline aids and feline leukemia.

Prices vary with location. My vet charges 50 for an exam, 19.50 for the distemper vaccination, 25.00 for the rabies, and 15.00 for the stool sample. Medication prices vary per vet.

My vet gives cats a yearly rabies because of the high incidents of rabies in our area. Your vet may do differently

Answer 5

Lucky cat so far. Not caught any diseases, eh?
Don't spoil it's health

Do NOT get yourself or your cat vaccinated.

A vaccinated cat or person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated cat or person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

Answer 6

That depends my cat has just had hers re-done because she got a year behind so they have to re-start the vaccines and give them 2 doses 3 weeks apart but thats just the booster jabs....i got three of them and it cost me around £100 so its quite an expensive thing, but all cats should have them if their outdoor cats.....dewormers can be picked up from a local pet shop, tablets usually cost less than spot on but mine wont take tablets so my dewormers cost around £7 for two but you can also buy them from the vets which would again cost more.

Answer 7

Since he's never been vaccinated most vets want to do two FVRCP vaccines and one year rabies, in a year you can get another booster of FVRCP and 3 yr rabies. There are proven studies now that FVRCP after the one year booster last 3 years as well as the rabies so every 3 years. If your cat doesnt go outside don't get the FeLV vacc. If nothing else Rabies is required by law get that.

Answer 8

One vaccine I don't give my cats is rabies, especially if they live indoors. 2 years ago I took my cat to get neutered and the vet gave him the rabies shot and after that he developed asthma and 1 year later he passes away because of the asthma. I have 4 cats now that live in doors and have not had shots and they are very healthy.

Answer 9

depending on the vaccines you are asking about it is one shot then is 3 years later for the 2nd shot like I say depending on what you are asking check with your vet to be safe
thank you
