Feline Leukemia Vaccines
cat vaccines for fools! Do not hurt your cat by choosing the wrong shots
Cat Vaccines easily
In our Scottsdale Arizona cat only animal hospital, Scaredy Cat Hospital ( www.scaredycats.com ) We designed a vaccination program to each individual cat. Unlike other hospitals, not all cats vaccinated with each vaccine.
Many infectious diseases serious cats can be controlled by vaccination. With over 20 million pet cats in the U.S., your cat is likely to come into contact with an infectious disease at one time or another. Even indoor cats may be exposed to viral diseases carried in the air, dust, or on clothing. Vaccination is the financial protection against costly treatment or premature death of his cat! Make sure your cat's veterinarian uses no adjuvant vaccine to prevent cancer feline fibrosarcoma skin.
The "Core" vaccines recommended by the American Association Feline Practitioners are:

Of these diseases include fever, sneezing, nasal discharge, nasal congestion, cough, conjunctivitis (infection of the eyelids), mouth ulcers, and general depression, these diseases include: Rhinotracheitis (also known as feline herpes) virus, calicivirus virus, Chlamydia and Mycoplasma.
In our hospital we use only the nasal form of the vaccine to avoid local skin reactions and cancer related to the adjuvant.

It is essential to ensure that your cat is negative FIV before vaccination, because after receiving the vaccine, which tested positive for FIV ALWAYS!
