First Kitten
Hello,
I would like to find out about vaccinations. I have a 10 week old female kitten. She's an indoor cat, but I would still prefer to vaccinate her against dangerous diseases. I read a few articles saying that vaccinations can cause sarcoma. Is it true? In that case which vaccination is the best to use, and what should I vaccinate her against? thank you for your help Aisha |

im no expert on the subject (im sure one of those will answer), but
generally for my indoor kittens they get two office visits. the first visit (when they weigh around 2.5 lbs) they get spayed/neutered, dewormed, and their first feline distemper shot the second visit around a month later, they get rabies and their second distemper and their feces is checked to make sure the deworming was successful "aisha" wrote in message om...

How often do they really need a booster as adults. You would definitely want to get your kitten shots. Call your local feline vet and make an appointment. I would do the shots separately from the spay as to not overload her little system. Be warned they are sometimes a little sluggish for a day or two after the shots. If it would last more than a day, I would call the vet. Not to alarm you but if it is your first kitten you would not know that. Do you have pictures of her on the internet somewhere? I'd love to see her. |

I've got about a thousand photos of her in my phone, but unfortunately the cable connectinh my phone to the computer broke, so I can't download them. But as soon as I get it sorted out I'll let you know Thanks again. |

Thanks for the advice. I read that in the UK rabies is not obligatory
(which is a bit strange to me, because my other cat in Poland has rabies shots regularly (even though she's an indoor cat). But I'll ask the vet if it's necessary.
