One of the key things about keeping a cat is its timely vaccination. Without this procedure, the animal's body will not be able to cope with all sorts of infections.
The antigens in the vaccine are artificially weakened cells of the virus. Once in the bloodstream, they teach the body to fight diseases.
Any kitten, regardless of breed and environment, should be vaccinated against diseases such as calcinosis, rhinotracheitis, rabies.
The first vaccination should be carried out at 8-9 weeks. If the baby was born from a mother whose vaccination was strictly according to the schedule, the vaccination can be postponed for up to 12 weeks.
Previously, it is not desirable to do it, because the animal's body is not able to produce active immunity, so the procedure will be completely useless.
Before that, it is necessary to carry out an anti-white deworming treatment and to remove fleas. These procedures are carried out even if the baby has never been outside.
A pet that has not been treated for parasites will find it much harder to reschedule the vaccination because the infected organism will not be able to adequately develop an immune response to the vaccination.
If the baby was purchased from breeders, be sure to ask if the first vaccination was done and specify its timing.
As a rule, vaccination is carried out without serious complications. There may be slight lethargy, loss of appetite, rare cases of vomiting or diarrhea.
Don't be alarmed in this case, after a couple of days, your pet will again delight you with a great appetite and good mood.
Negative consequences are only possible if the kitten is intolerant or in poor condition before vaccination.
