Keep in mind that all cats are unique. Your Village Veterinary Hospital vet will discuss your dog’s planned lifestyle and risks, and then make recommendations and customize vaccines for your pet.
A word about vaccine safety: Any type of medical treatment has associated risks, but the risk should be weighed against the benefits of protecting your pet, your family, and your community from potentially fatal diseases. The majority of pets respond well to vaccines. Common minor side effects of feline vaccines include:
- Discomfort at the injection site
- Minor swelling at the injection site
- Low fever
- Lethargy
- No appetite
- Runny nose, coughing, or sneezing (usually after intranasal vaccines)
