As part of your cat’s annual vaccination program, we will perform a thorough physical exam.

Feline Distemper Combo (FVRCP) or Feline Distemper & Leukemia Combo (FLVK)

Rhinotracheitis- (Feline Herpes Virus) affects the eyes and upper respiratory system. This is an incurable virus however with proper treatment it may be managed. Cats spread it to one another through direct contact. Outbreaks are caused by stress or weakened immune systems and last for about 7 to 10 days.

Calicivirus- A virus similar to rhinotracheitis which causes respiratory distress and conjunctivitis of the eyes. It is usually curable with short term antibiotics.

Panlekopenia- A form of parvovirus which is spread through urine, feces and blood. This infection is often fatal and is common in unvaccinated kittens and geriatric cats. The vaccine has shown to be highly effective against this deadly disease.

Feline Leukemia- A viral infection which is spread through direct contact. It attacks the cat’s immune system, which makes secondary infections common (cancer). There is no cure for feline leukemia.

Rabies Vaccination

Rabies- Rabies is considered a public health hazard and there is no cure!
