Vaccines for Cats
(valid for 1 year)
Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus. The virus is found in the saliva of a rabid animal and is transmitted by a bite, or possibly by saliva contamination of an open cut or the eyes. Left untreated, rabies attacks the nervous system and causes death.
AHC requires this vaccination for all our veterinary patients as well as boarding and grooming pets.
(kittens receive a series of 3-4 vaccine followed by annual updates)
DCPR is a combination vaccine which vaccinates against the following diseases:
Distemper: (a.k.a. Panleukopenia) is a serious and deadly viral infection that can affect cats of all ages. Symptoms include fever, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, depression and severe dehydration that can lead to the death of the cat.
Rhinotrachetis: is the most severe and widespread upper respiratory viral infection in cats. Symptoms include fever, heavy discharges from the eyes, nose and mouth, difficulty breathing, coughing and salivation.
Pneumonitis: is a very common upper respiratory infection most common in young kittens. It is caused by chlamydia, a unique type of infectious organism. Symptoms include thick discharges from the eyes and nose, sneezing, coughing and salivation. Pneumonia will develop if the condition is left untreated.
Calicivirus: a common viral upper respiratory infection. It is widespread and can account for over 40% of all feline respiratory infections. Symptoms include fever, respiratory difficulty due to pneumonia, ulcers and blisters in the mouth and on the tongue. With medical care most pets survive this virus.
AHC requires this vaccination for all of our veterinary patients as well as boarding and grooming pets.
(updated annually)
Feline Leukemia is a highly contagious disease transmitted from an infected mother to her litter or from an infected cat through casual contact with saliva, nasal secretions, feces or blood. It is the most lethal feline disease. The FeLV vaccine can prevent this disease. If your pet has not been vaccinated, it is required that they be tested prior to administering the vaccine.
Fecal exams should be performed annually to detect gastrointestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, giardia, coccidia and tapeworms. This may be the most important test you can do for your family as many of these parasites are transferrable to humans. AHC is one of few clinics in the Covington area who have invested in technology that allows us to be 30% more accurate than most other clinics in the detection of these parasites.
