Cat Vaccination

The vaccines stimulate the immunological system of the cats in order that it produces defenses against a certain disease. There are done usually based on virus or bacteria attenuated, that is to say, microorganisms alive but unable to damage though they continue stimulating the immunological system. In the production of some vaccines the genetic engineering is used, and they contain only the part of the virus (antigen) necessary to develop the immunological response. Your veterinarian will inform you about the existing diseases in your zone of residence and the more adapted program of prevention for your feline.

Among the diseases against which the preventive vaccination is used more commonly are:

Leukemia: The leukemia's virus is the infectious agent who causes more deaths among the feline population. This virus of slow action attacks the natural defenses of the cat allowing other critical illnesses to develop.

All of these stand out:

• Severe anemia
• Tumors in the lymphatic nodules.
• Serious infection in the gums.
• Renal failure.
• The leukemia can be lethal.

Infectious Leucopenia of the cat: Symptoms of this type of leucopenia.

• Vomits and diarrhea.
• Lethargic and apathy.
• Dehydration.

The leucopenia, "distemper of the cat " or " feline gastroenteritis " can be fatal.

Herpes and calicivurus.

Symptoms of these virical infections

• Sneezes
• Inflammation and secretion in the eyes
• Inflamed gums.
• Sores in the mouth.
• Fever and weakness.

This virus can be lethal for puppies. Once contracted, the infection of the herpes can be an appellant during the whole life.

Chlamydia: Symptoms of the infection:

• Serious inflammation and secretion in the eyes.

This infection is very contagious and needs a treatment based on antibiotics.

Coronavirus: The symptoms of this infection changes, but the most serious manifestation is named an infectious peritonitis (PIF).

Symptoms of the PIF:

• Swollen abdomen.
• Anemia.
• Loss of weight.
• Dehydration.

The PIF is invariably mortal.

Anger: The preventive vaccination against the anger is required in the most of the European and North American countries. Every vaccine provides from one to three protection years. In western and oriental Europ, the vaccination from the air of the foxes with anti-anger vaccines elaborated by genetic engineering is demonstrating to be extremely effective in the reduction of the number of cases- and, in some countries in the total eradication- of this disease on the animals that live at liberty.
