We're currently using the Heska intranasal vaccine, as introduction via the respiratory tract seems like a more logical route than subcutaneously. Waiting for the single virus intranasal though!Michellehttp://www.ExaltedCat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916537799265211085.post-51276000744541975642010-12-03T10:57:16.334-05:002010-12-03T10:57:16.334-05:00I am a vet tech at an all feline practice (and wou...I am a vet tech at an all feline practice (and would find it very difficult to go back to 'and dogs', hahameow and I just wanted to say this is probably the most educational and easy to understand explanation of the why's of why to vaccinate, especially indoor only cats. This same question comes up every day in our practice and as the techs and assistants do the first part of the 'admitting' exam, we usually get these questions first. <br /><br />I am going to print out your post and give a copy to each staff member to help them educate our clients in a simple and knowledgeable way.<br /><br />As I also breed Cornish Rex, and while my cattery is small (5 cats total-2 queens, 1 stud, 1 retirees) I/my tailored my vaccination protocol like this: 1 year Rabies (as you said, if some family was visiting and their child stepped on a cats tail by accident and the cat bit them--the consequences would be terrible if my cats were unvaccinated); FVRCP given every 3 years, and RCP given every year (as being a multi-cat household with the stresses of pregnancy, nursing, etc). <br /><br />Thanks again for an excellent blog!Teri and her Stylish Adventure Cats https://www.blogger.com/profile/00995773243323674858noreply@blogger.com
