What should you pay attention to before and after your cat is vaccinated?

Before the cat is vaccinated, please note that the first vaccination time is after 8 weeks of age, and it should be noted that the cat can only be vaccinated when it is healthy. Cats that have just arrived in a new home cannot be vaccinated. After vaccination, be sure to stay in the hospital for observation for half an hour before leaving. Do not give the cat a bath or take the cat out after returning home.

Tip:

Usually, cats need to be vaccinated after 8 weeks. There are three shots in total, with an interval of 21 days between each shot. Wait until all three shots are completed. Afterwards, another injection of rabies vaccine is required to prevent the cat from being infected with rabies virus. In addition, cats may experience some side effects such as vomiting and drowsiness after being vaccinated, which are normal phenomena.
