How To Administer Vaccines to Feline Patients

Becky Smith CVT, VTS (Clinical Practice) explains the proper locations for administering vaccines to a cat in your clinic. Just in time for her cat's vaccination!

This patient was given his FeLV vaccine. Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a virus that infects cats. FeLV depresses the immune system and can lead to persistent infection. Vaccination is highly recommended in preventing infection with FeLV.

My 4 cats died with this disease ( From Pakistan) and I was very depressed because I adopted them when they were kitten now I will give them vaccine by myself... I learned from this tutorial

was that injected into the muscle or under the skin? I'm still really new to this, and I've always been shown to pull up the skin to make a tent to put the needle in

I've got a question: why do you draw it back a little, before plunging?

It was my understanding that cats need to be tested for leukemia and be negative before receiving this vaccination. I've read that the vaccine can have negative affects on a cat if that cat already carries the disease.

Why rabies should be given low in the leg?

[spidergirl]

i am planning on vaccinating stray cats for Rabies, fvrcp and deworming.. the only problems is that these vaccines comes in two shots (within two weeks) and then a shot as a booster after a year, i can only manage to vaccinate with one shot because i wont be able to find the cat again because it's stray.. does it work if i vaccinate them with one shot only?? i hope you understand my question.

[steemdup]
