Kitten Vaccinations: Essential Types and Benefits
Overview
Vaccinating kittens has become increasingly popular due to its vital role in protecting their health. The three primary vaccinations safeguard against feline infectious enteritis (FIE), feline influenza (commonly known as cat flu), and feline leukemia (FeLV). Kittens typically begin with a series of two injections, starting at nine weeks old, followed by annual booster shots.
Common Vaccinations
Feline Infectious Enteritis (FIE)
FIE is a severe illness that can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and high fever in cats. Before the introduction of the vaccine, this disease was often fatal due to dehydration caused by gastrointestinal symptoms.
Feline Influenza (Cat Flu)
Cat flu is caused by two viruses: feline rhinotracheitis (FVR) and calicivirus (FCV). FVR is more severe, resulting in coughing, sneezing, and nasal and eye discharge. FCV may present milder symptoms but can lead to gum inflammation and mouth ulcers. While rarely fatal, these viruses can persist, turning some cats into symptomless carriers who may experience mild symptoms when stressed.
Feline Leukemia (FeLV)
FeLV severely suppresses a cat's immune system, leading to various symptoms and often resulting in death after months of illness. It is primarily spread through saliva, affecting cats that engage in frequent fighting or live in large colonies. In well-managed boarding facilities where hygiene is maintained, the risk of FeLV is minimized.
Chlamydial Infection
Vaccination against the chlamydial organism helps prevent mild eye and nasal symptoms, and more critically, infertility and abortion in breeding colonies.
By ensuring your kitten receives these vaccinations, you protect them from prevalent diseases, contributing to a healthier and happier life.
