Vaccination Advice - Cats
Richard Allport B.Vet. Med.,Vet.M.F.Hom., M.R.C.V.S.
1st vaccination: 12 weeks (or later)
2nd vaccination: 16 weeks (or later)
(leave at least four weeks between vaccinations)
Booster at fifteen months (or later)
Any further boosters at not less than three yearly intervals
Vaccinate for Feline Panleucopaenia (Feline Enteritis) and Cat ‘Flu viruses. Vaccinate for Feline Leukaemia only if your cat will be at risk (i.e. will spend time outdoors and may be in close contact with other cats) This vaccine is unnecessary for cats kept indoors or in enclosed runs/gardens. Avoid other vaccines (e.g. Chlamydia) unless you are advised your cat runs a specific risk of contracting the infection.
Do not vaccinate if your cat:
is not in good health
is on any medication
has had a previous adverse reaction to a vaccination
is otherwise at risk (e.g. family history of autoimmune disease or epilepsy)
Whenever vaccination is to be given, help protect against adverse reactions by giving homoeopathic Thuja 30c:
one dose three times daily for three days before, and five days after, vaccination.
If your cat is unvaccinated, consider administering homoeopathic nosodes (see separate nosode information sheet). Nosodes are not guaranteed to confer immunity, there is no proof of their efficacy, but they are likely to give at least some protection. It is important to obtain nosodes from a reputable supplier and dose according to the recommendations of a qualified homoeopathic vet.
Please note this vaccination advice is the view of the Natural Medicine Centre and your own veterinary practice may suggest a different regime of vaccination
