Description of Vaccines:
FVRCP: Vaccine is recommended annually. Diseases covered by this vaccine are listed below
- Feline Panleukopenia: This disease is sometimes referred to as feline distemper. Transmission is through direct contact with another feline. Is known to be very contagious, and can be fatal. Clinical signs of this disease include anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, and high fever.
- Calicivirus: This disease is transmitted through secretions from the eyes or nose, and saliva. Clinical signs may include sneezing, fever, anorexia, swollen eyes, and oral ulceration.
- Pneumonitis: Bacterial infection of the respiratory system. Clinical signs may include sneezing, fever, anorexia, and swollen eyes.
- Rhinotracheitis: This is an upper respiratory disease. Clinical signs include sneezing, fever, anorexia, swollen eyes, and oral ulceration.
Feline Leukemia (Feluk): Vaccine is recommended annually. This virus is very common in cats and will lead shortened life-spans.
Rabies: Vaccine is recommended annually or every 3 years depending on vaccine type given. This vaccine is required by law. This virus attacks neurologic tissues. We have seen more outbreaks of this virus in Alabama over the last few years in our wildlife and pets. This virus is highly contagious and has a very high zoonotic potential (can be spread to humans from animals).
