Cat Medications

Vaccine and Routine Care

Learn why vaccines and routine care are so important to your cat's health.

Elaine Wexler-Mitchell, D.V.M.

Vaccines and routine check-ups can prolong your cats lifePart of your responsibility as a cat owner is to make sure your pet is up to date on all necessary vaccinations and that annual examinations, medications, and routine care are maintained. Like a small child, a new kitten will need a battery of vaccines at the beginning of his life and follow-up care throughout his life. Medications may, at some point, also play a part in your cats health care, and administering medications can sometimes be a challenge to a cat owner. Observe changes in your cats health and communicate with your veterinarian. The two of you can work together to ensure that your cat enjoys a good quality of life.

Why is it that my vet only wants to see the cat every couple of years but the dogs every year? Doesn't seem right.

This is a good article. But I would like to add that an owner of a cat that receives vaccines and rabies innoculations together should be made aware of 1st time vaccine and rabies innoculations allergic reactions. This occured in my cat today after she came home, played and ate her food. She began vomiting about 90 minutes after we returned home. Thank you.
