HELP Question about Cat Shots.

[jazzcat]

Jazzcat,

I take my cats to 2 different vets, that may sound strange but one see them for their shots and the other vet if they are problems.

The one I see for if my pets have problems does shot every 3 years now for the distemperment shot and well rabies is every 3 years too I believe so I think I might end up doing this to my girls and boys. I just had to be over doing it on them.

Thanks for the info,

Melissa

My vet says the FVRCP that she gives is still suppose to be given once a year but she says it's strong enough to last my indoor cats who aren't exposed to others at least two years. She also said my county has finally approved the 3 year rabies vaccination starting this year but I'm not sure if I want to do that with my guys. I've read here that it can increase the risk of cancer at the site of injection or something like that. I'm going to discuss this more with my vet first.

My cat acts tired and a little off after his shots. I recently read an article that said cats didn't need shots as often. I read it months back so I don't have a link for you.

My vet's office used to use the 3 year rabies shots but have now switched back to the yearly rabies because the 3 year is more likely to cause cancer.

Sky is the one who reacted badly to his FVRCP shot so I was told to wait and get his at least 6 months later. I would really like to skip all of their FVRCP shot's this year even though my vet's office says that they need them every year. I will keep their rabies up to date because if one of my cats bites some one then I could be in serious trouble. Starr bit me but luckily he was up to date on his rabies shot. I still haven't heard anything from animal control.
