Himalayan Siamese like many other pets need to be vaccinated this prevents any future diseases your Himalayan Siamese may come into contact wit from any other animal. The cat species will acquire illnesses like feline leukemia, and even an illness similar to HIV that attacks the feline's immune system. Vaccinated pets are protected from these types of illnesses. This is an excellent way to guarantee your pet will build up the antibodies against these types of illness.
A vaccine schedule that is followed closely by the owner to insure all the vaccines are given and given at the proper age in the Himalayan Siamese kitten on to adulthood will protect your kitten. Owners may purchase the vaccines from the INTERNET or at a local pet suppler without a prescription. The owners can administer the vaccines to their own Himalayan Siamese at a lesser cost that having the veterinarian administer the vaccines to your pet.
The vaccines come in small vile s with the vaccines in them. Owners may have to transfer the medicine in the vile s from one vile to another to mix the vaccine. Simple directions on how to administer the vaccines are on the package the vaccines come in. The vaccine and a hypodermic syringe are in the package.
These vaccines come usually with three or more vaccines mixed in the one shot. This is much more convenient and less painful for your Himalayan Siamese. These way owners only have to give the pet one shot instead of three or more.
Shots include:
Feline Panleukopenia -feline distemper vaccine.
Viral Rhinotracheitis- also known as Feline Influenza or Feline Herpes Virus- is an upper respiratory infection your Himalayan Siamese will acquire if it comes into contact with another cat that has the virus and has not been vaccinated.
Calicivirus- causes pneumonia in cat with many other complications. All of these diseases are preventable with vaccines that you or your veterinarian administers to your Himalayan Siamese.
Feline Leukemia- a crippling debilitating disease in cats.Feline Infectious Peritonitis ( FIP)-incurable and fatal disease for the cat species.
Feline Chlamydia- attacks the cat cells and inflammation of the lungs.
Ringworm- three different types of microscopic a parasite that burrow and live under the skin of your Himalayan Siamese, forms a ringed area on the skin with no apparent hair.
The vaccine or vaccination schedule that owners should follow begins when your Himalayan Siamese is still young or a kitten. At the first 1 ½ months the kitten should be taken or given its first sets of vaccines in the following month when the kitten reaches 2 ½ months the next vaccines should be given to the kitten. This schedule follows the same for 3 ½ months, and 4 ½ months then when the kitten reaches the adulthood stage in life it may be given a set of booster for the vaccines once a year after the first booster.
