Cat diseases we can vaccinate against

CAT FLU

Cat flu is a common infectious disease of cats in the UK.  It is more often seen where groups of cats are housed together and typically unvaccinated cats and kittens are most at risk.  Symptoms can vary and may include respiratory problems, depression, loss of appetite, limping, and in some cases even death.  Both viral and bacterial agents are involved in this disease, and with no specific treatment available, vaccination is an important way of reducing illness.

FELINE PANLEUCOPAENIA

Feline panleucopaenia (also known as feline enteritis) is a serious disease which can be life threatening, partocularly in young cats and kittens.  It is similar to the disease caused by parvovirus in dogs and causes severe vomiting, anorexia and fever.  With no specific treatment, protection through vaccination is recommended.

FELINE LEUKAEMIA

Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) causes tumours and anaemia in cats and also supresses the immune system making affected cats susceptible to other illnesses.  The virus is usually spread by close contact so cats that go outside and cats living in areas with lots of other cats are most susceptible.  It can take months to years for the infected cat to become visibly ill.  No specific treatments are available and the best protection is afforded through vaccination.
