Vaccinations
Call NowAppropriate vaccinations can often prevent or minimize the severity of certain common viral infections such as Parvovirus.
Core Feline Vaccines as Outlined by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association
- Feline Panleukopenia is a potentially fatal viral disease that causes vomiting, diarrhea, severe dehydration and fever, and sudden death. Kittens born to infected mothers may suffer permanent brain damage. This disease is easily prevented through vaccination.
- Feline Rhinotracheitis and Calicivirus infect the airways of cats, causing runny eyes and nose, sneezing, mouth ulcers, and sometimes poor appetite. Although vaccines may not prevent infection altogether, they often greatly reduce the severity of the disease.
Our core Kitten Vaccines Include:
- Feline Panleukopenia: Panleukopenia is a potentially fatal viral disease that causes vomiting, diarrhea, severe dehydration and fever, and sudden death. Kittens born to infected mothers may suffer permanent brain damage. This disease is easily prevented through vaccination.
- Feline Rhinotracheitis and Calicivirus: These organisms infect the airways of cats, causing runny eyes and nose, sneezing, mouth ulcers, and sometimes poor appetite. Although vaccines may not prevent infection altogether, they often greatly reduce the severity of the disease.
- Rabies: All mammals, including humans, are at risk of contracting rabies, which is almost invariably fatal. Rabies is sometimes called the great pretender because signs are so variable in animals. Rabies is present in Saskatchewan and is carried by skunks, raccoons, and bats. If an animal is a Rabies suspect, authorities will enforce activity to ensure protection, including isolation and/or destruction of your pet. Rabies is 100 percent preventable by vaccination.
- Chlamydia: This infectious bacteria is transmitted through direct contact with an infected cat, and the highest rates of infection are in cats between five weeks and nine months of age, especially those residing in multiple-cat environments with a history of respiratory tract disease. Cats that have developed this infection will often exhibit traditional signs of an upper respiratory infection, such as watery eyes, runny nose, and sneezing.
Core Canine Vaccines as Outlined by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association
Core puppy vaccinations are given at the time to protect your puppy from common diseases.
- Adeno Virus/Infectious Canine Hepatitis: This virus is caused by the viral agent adenovirus and is spread through infected urine. The virus may cause liver failure, eye damage, respiratory problems and can be fatal. Commonly encountered clinical signs are vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and, occasionally, coughing.
- Distemper: This disease causes respiratory, digestive, and nervous system signs in affected dogs and can be fatal in about half of unvaccinated dogs. Recovered dogs may have permanent damage to their nervous systems. Unvaccinated dogs are at a 350 fold increased risk of contracting this highly contagious disease which is spread by discharges from the nose and eyes of infected dogs. This virus is caused by a viral agent called adenovirus. The virus may cause liver failure, eye damage, respiratory problems and can be fatal.
- Canine Parvovirus: The disease is caused by the parvovirus and is spread via infected feces. Death in as early as 48 to 72 hours can occur in some dogs, although sudden death can also occur. Parvovirus infection is both serious and widespread. We have seen a rise in the number of Parvovirus cases over the past couple of years, especially in young dogs.
- Canine Parainfluenza Virus: Parainfluenza virus is a highly contagious upper respiratory virus and the most common contributing virus to Kennel Cough.
- Rabies Virus: All mammals, including humans, are at risk of contracting rabies, which is almost invariably fatal. Rabies is sometimes called the great pretender because signs are so variable in animals. Rabies is present in Saskatchewan and is carried by skunks, raccoons, and bats. If an animal is a Rabies suspect, authorities will enforce activity to ensure protection, including isolation and/or destruction of your pet. Rabies is 100 percent preventable by vaccination.
Optional vaccines are also available at our clinic and are given based on your pet’s risk of exposure. These include the Feline Leukemia and Bordetella vaccine.
