  • 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.

      That's one of the needle admissions that isn't for vaccination purposes, if so; I can't find any description of it other than feline sarcoma ( otherwise known as vaccine-associated fibrosarcoma ), which is some type of cancer that often forms between the shoulder blades.
      Wouldn't call it a shot, the only needle entrance they use as you specified is for giving sub-q fluids.

    • @whydoibother3741
      @whydoibother3741 4 роки тому +2

      As far as I know to avoid serious complication, or death, it is standard protocol for veterinarians to require a FeLV/FIV (Feline leukemia virus / feline immunodeficiency virus) negative blood test result before giving the vaccine. Hopefully she had the test and hopefully she finished the booster series already. Still, if “she’s a year past due...” and could have come in contact with the virus, don’t risk it! Contact the organization you adopted her from or see your vet.

    • @CherylBerryl
      @CherylBerryl 3 роки тому +3

      Please! Don't give your cat the Leukemia vaccine. It's completely unnecessary. There are No Risks to Indoor cats whatsoever! If your letting your cat out to roam the streets, then you are NOT a good pet parent! There are way too many things that can happen to them! I'm a long time cat rescuer, and believe me when I tell you, I have seen alleged "nice" neighbors poison ppl's cats, take them & drive them somewhere & dump them off, hit them w/ baseball bats, kick them.. you name it! So PLEASE! Heed The Warning! & Keep your cats indoors & safe, and don't vaccinate unnecessarily! You're bombarding their immune system w/ Toxic Adjuvants & Excipients. The initial FVRCP Vaccination as a kitten is enough for life!

    • @ladydriver0_0
      @ladydriver0_0 3 роки тому +4

      Tina, it's fine. The injections are given in specific limbs to avoid giving multiple injections in the same site, to lessen the chance to develop vaccine induced sarcoma which can be fatal.
      Also, if an animal develops a sarcoma from a vaccine, they also know which vaccine caused it.
      Sarcoma is uncommon. About 1 in 10,000.

    I have to disagree with these methods because they have a lot of pain at the injection site and it affects their ability to walk and they tend to not want to eat.

Your method leaves the cat not wanting to eat and lethargic because it's painful for them to walk.
