Vaccines play an important role in the control of infectious diseases. Kittens are generally more susceptible to infection and typically develop more severe diseases than adult cats. Thus, kittens represent the principal target population for vaccination. As part of a routine health care program, the vaccination needs of all cats, including adults, should be assessed at least yearly and, if necessary, modified on the basis of an assessment of a cat’s risk. (As stated in the AAFP Feline Vaccine Advisory Panel Report on Cat Vaccinations, (AAFP, American Association of Feline Practitioners.)
Individual cat vaccination recommendations are based upon your cat's risk assessment and your desires regarding a Vaccination or Vaccine Seriologic Testing (Vaccine titer) Plan for your cat. Please discuss this with Your Veterinarian when your Cat receives their annual exam.

Feline Heartworm Disease...
Heartworm disease is not just a canine disease. Heartworms affect cats differently than dogs, but the disease they cause is equally serious.
Is easy and relatively inexpensive to prevent and currently, there are no products in the United States approved for the treatment of feline heartworm infection. So, "Prevention is the truly best Medicine" for feline heartworms.
Heartworm preventative can aid in the prevention/control of many other parasites in your kitten. Depending upon which one you choose, current heartworm preventatives can also control fleas and many intestinal parasites.
Your Veterinarian at Dunedin Animal Medical Center will recommend the best heartworm preventative for your kitten.

Are vaccinations safe?
Yes. The majority of pets respond well but as with human vaccines, there are some risks. Fortunately, serious side effects are rare. The most common side effects of vaccination are low-grade fever, depression or decreased appetite. These are usually short-lived (24-48 hours), require no treatment and are similar to what people experience after a flu or tetanus shot. Vomiting, diarrhea, itching, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or extremities and hives are some of the rare allergic reactions that can occur.
After vaccination, if your pet experiences any these allergic-reaction signs immediately call Dunedin Animal Medical Center 727-738-2273. |
