Cat vaccinations in Sutton are the only safe way to provide protection against a number of dangerous diseases that still plague cats in the UK. When given as prescribed by your veterinarian, regular cat vaccinations can offer your feline friend lifetime protection.
Immunity and cat vaccinations in Sutton
Immunity is the body's natural ability to fight off disease. As part of a cat vaccination in Sutton, a little but entirely harmless amount of the vaccinated sickness is given to the body to produce protection.
Immunity in kittens
A kitten's immunity during the first few weeks of life is frequently supplied by colostrum, the mother's first milk. However, this immunity rapidly wanes after a few weeks, leaving the kitten susceptible to disease. Now, vaccinating cats may take accountability for their security.

What diseases do we vaccinate against?
Cat ‘flu (feline upper respiratory tract disease)
Common in the UK and extremely severe, especially in older cats and kittens. Cats can sneeze or directly infect one another with it. symptoms such a high temperature, runny eyes and nose, and extreme fatigue. Regular cat vaccination is the best protection against the disease.
Infectious enteritis (feline panleucopenia)
Cat vaccination has been shown to be a very successful way to manage the disease, despite the fact that it is extremely rare, unpleasant, and occasionally fatal.
Feline leukaemia
A virus may spread when cats fight or even merely groom one another. It may take months for the illness to show symptoms, but once it does, the cat's immune system will be weakened, which may result in tumours, further infections, and ultimately death. This disease is gradually being controlled by the cat vaccination program.
Chlamydophila felis
can result in conjunctivitis and is most common in homes with several cats and kittens.
Rabies
If you intend to travel with your cat overseas, they must be vaccinated against a deadly disease that is not present in the UK.
Kittens First Vaccination in Sutton
The first immunisation for your kitten in Sutton usually consists of two jabs spaced at least a few weeks apart. If you adopt a kitten that is older than nine weeks, you should talk to your veterinarian about cat vaccination regimens. At that age, this is the first round of vaccinations that can be given. The doctor will assess your kitten's general health at the same time.
After a cat vaccination, immunity takes a few days to develop. Your veterinarian will decide when it's safe to allow your kitten interact with other animals.
Your cat may eventually get immune to an illness and lose their susceptibility. Based on the condition, boosters can be required. A general health evaluation and any required booster shots will be part of a yearly veterinarian visit.
A vaccination card detailing your cat's immunisation history and the date of the upcoming booster dose will be sent to you. Make sure to save it properly and bring it to your cat's yearly examination since the catteries will need to view it.
