ABOUT YOUR
PET'S GENERAL HEALTH:
Having
your pet vaccinated against contagious
diseases may be one of the most important
things you ever do for, your pet. We can
advise you what is best
for your individual pet, but here are some
guidelines:
Puppies
and kittens should begin a series of
vaccinations at 6-8 weeks of age. The
antibodies from
mother's milk interferes with vaccinations, so that
each one gives only partial immunity in
increasing amounts during the series.
Distemper in both
species needs to be given every three to four weeks
until at least 16 weeks of age. A
vaccine against feline leukemia is available
to help
prevent infections by this deadly virus,
responsible for a large percentage of feline
mortality every
year. The vaccine has so far proven itself to be
highly effective. We strongly recommend it for
all cats
having contact with other cats of unknown
leukemia status. All
dogs should be tested for heartworm disease
annually, and placed on preventive medication
if
negative. Remember that it can be lethal to
give a dog the
preventative if it has not been tested and found
to be negative.
ABOUT
MEDICATIONS:
The wrong medications at the wrong time can be
very detrimental to your pet's health. Always
follow
the directions on your pet's medications
precisely... do
not save them for future use. Never give your
pet
human pain killers or other human medication -
they
can be
deadly. Use only medication that has been
prescribed by a veterinarian and KEEP ALL
MEDICATIONS OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN
AND PETS |
