After a cat is born, both the mother cat and the kittens have very strong resistance, but these antibodies in the kittens will gradually disappear after weaning, usually two months later. So in order to protect kittens from viruses, we need to vaccinate kittens. (Extended reading: What is the triple vaccine for pet cats?)

1. Things to note when injecting cat triplex:

1. Physically healthy cats with no upper respiratory tract infection, no diarrhea, normal body temperature, and good mental state.

2. Pregnant cats are prohibited from using attenuated vaccines (to avoid miscarriage).

3. Use with caution in nursing cats.

4. Use with caution on weak cats (including newly purchased cats and newly adopted stray cats, which must be quarantined and observed for two weeks).

5. Cats that have been in contact with cats suffering from infectious diseases but have not become ill should avoid vaccination within two weeks and should be observed in isolation. Cats that have been in contact with cats suffering from feline distemper but have not been vaccinated need to be urgently injected with serum ( Vaccination is allowed two weeks after serum injection).

6. If a cat develops an allergic reaction (facial edema, shortness of breath, itching, etc.) after being vaccinated, it should be desensitized in time.

7. Avoid contact with sick cats suffering from infectious diseases during the vaccination period (immunity will generally develop seven days after vaccination).

2. Cat triple immunization process:

1. The first basic vaccination for kittens is between nine and twelve weeks old. The second vaccination should be three to four weeks apart from the first vaccination, and then once a year.

2. If adult cats have not been vaccinated before, they need to be vaccinated twice. If they have been vaccinated before, they only need to be vaccinated once a year.

3. Regarding the immunization program for stray cats: In epidemic areas where infectious diseases are prevalent and in winter and spring, attention must be paid to the isolation and observation of stray cats (immune globulin or serum can be injected if conditions permit). Two weeks later, the vaccine can only be administered after confirming good health, and the group can be mixed after seven days.

4. Try to avoid sterilization surgery and vaccination at the same time. It is best to vaccinate two weeks before the surgery. If there is no time to vaccinate, serum or immune globulin can be injected during the surgery.
