The latter two viruses are commonly responsible for symptoms associated with \u2018cat flu\u2019, whilst panleucopenia protects against a fatal disease that causes gastrointestinal, nervous, and immune system disorders.<\/p>\n<p>This vaccination should be given as a set of two vaccinations 4 weeks apart, starting from 8 weeks of age. A yearly booster should then be given. Following this initial protocol, the needs of the individual need to be taken into account. If your cat or kitten has an unknown vaccination history, follow this same procedure.<\/p>\n<p>If requirements for catteries are needed or your cat lives an active indoor\/outdoor lifestyle in a multi-cat household, this vaccination should be given every three years. The Ducat vaccination is given annually in between. This is supported by sound scientific evidence showing a far greater exposure to \u2018cat flu\u2019; thus, more frequent vaccinations are beneficial and justified. If your cat lives a largely isolated indoor lifestyle, then triennial vaccinations are appropriate.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-53826a5fb43ce6005\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-53826a5fb43ce6005 uvc-9350 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-53826a5fb43ce6005 h2'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:32px;\",\"line-height\":\"desktop:42px;\"}' ><h2 style=\"--font-weight:theme;color:#000000;\">Like to book an appointment for your pet?<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a5fb43ce6065\" data-id=\"6a5fb43ce6065\" data-height=\"25\" data-height-mobile=\"25\" data-height-tab=\"25\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"25\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"25\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_btn title=&#8221;BOOK AN APPOINTMENT&#8221; color=&#8221;primary&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Feline | Tricat This is a live attenuated vaccination containing feline panleucopaenia virus, feline herpesvirus, and feline calicivirus.
