Santa Ana

Now, let’s look at the type of vaccinations you need to get if you have a puppy:

• Rabies – a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain and affects your pet’s neurological development. Behavioral changes and fever are symptoms of rabies. If bitten, a pet owner may also develop rabies.
• Lyme disease – caused by a tick called Lyme borreliosis, this infectious disease affects your pet’s appetite, mobility, physical strength, and energy.
• Canine distemper – a dangerous and often fatal viral disease that affects the respiratory, spinal, gastrointestinal, and ocular systems of your pet.
• Leptospirosis – a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Leptospira. This is a condition that makes your pet very weak and lethargic, followed by intense fever.
• Canine parvovirus infection – also called the “Parvo” virus, it is a very contagious viral disease that spreads between dogs through feces. It has high mortality rates and needs immediate vaccination.
• Canine adenovirus-2 – a viral illness that causes dangerous conditions like infectious hepatitis and infectious tracheobronchitis in dogs.
• Canine enteric coronavirus – a very contagious intestinal disease that is caused by a virus called Alphacoronavirus 1. It causes severe vomiting, diarrhea, and anorexia.
• Canine parainfluenza – highly infectious between canines, the CPI is a respiratory virus that causes a debilitating condition called canine cough.
• Canine influenza – different from the CPI, this disease is caused by different strains of influenza virus A and has pneumonia-like symptoms. Your pet won’t have any natural immunity towards this disease and need immediate vaccination.
• Heartworm disease – a severe and sometimes fatal disease caused by the parasite Dirofilaria immitis. Heartworm disease leads to multiple organ failure in dogs.
• Bordetellosis – caused by the Bordetella bronchiseptica bacterium. This is a highly contagious respiratory disease that causes your pet’s trachea to swell and causes bronchitis.
• Intestinal worms – these are four types of worms that can cause severe diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, weight loss, and other conditions in dogs.

Timely vaccination can protect your canine buddy from these life-threatening illnesses.

These are the type of vaccinations you need to get if you have a kitten:

• Rabies – a viral disease that can cause extreme behavioral modifications in cats, lead to lethargy, mobility issues and paralysis, seizures, and sometimes death.
• Feline panleukopenia – also called feline distemper, a strain of the parvovirus causes this disease. It spreads between cats and can compromise your pet’s immune system, neurological development, and gastrointestinal health.
• Feline leukemia (FeLV) – the Feline leukemia virus is a very dangerous and sometimes fatal disease that causes respiratory problems, swelling in the lymph nodes, bladder problems, weakness, poor coat health, and high fevers.
• Feline calicivirus infection – caused by the Caliciviridae strain virus. This disease affects the upper respiratory tract of your cat and causes respiratory failure. Conjunctivitis, fever, anorexia, and lethargy are other symptoms.
• Feline herpes virus infection – also called feline viral rhinotracheitis, the Feline herpesvirus type-1 causes it. Just like the calicivirus, the herpes virus causes chronic upper respiratory tract disease.
• Heartworm disease – A parasitic condition that can cause your cats to experience severe vomiting, diarrhea, asthma-type attacks, weight loss, and lethargy.
• Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection – Caused by the Lentivirus, FIV is an almost-always fatal condition that compromises your cat’s immune system. Conjunctivitis, gingivitis, anemia, fever, urinary tract infection, and fever are symptoms.
