\u201cPrevention is cheaper than treatment.\u201d A quote that I will forever remember from Dr. Vinu, a primary care veterinarian I worked for during my undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois-Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccines are very critical in cats and dogs, and the vaccine series are started at a very young age. Some vaccines even need to be boosted in order for the pet to reach adequate immunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many different vaccines in cats and dogs. Some vaccines are core vaccines, meaning that they are recommended in every patient, and some are considered lifestyle vaccines, meaning that it depends on what your pet does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is your dog frequently boarded at a boarding facility or often goes to grooming, where they might be surrounded by many other dogs? Does your dog go to forest preserves or on camping trips where they can be exposed to ticks? Is your cat a strictly indoor cat or an indoor\/outdoor cat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of those are great questions that are usually asked at the beginning of your annual wellness exam. Yes, we may ask many, many questions during your pet\u2019s wellness exam, but we are putting the puzzle pieces together to recommend the best vaccine schedule for your pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rabies Vaccine in Dogs AND Cats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having your pet vaccinated for rabies is required by law. It is recommended that the canine and feline rabies vaccine be administered at 4 months of age. However, it is sometimes given earlier in a shelter setting. The first rabies vaccine is usually a 1-year vaccine, while the following year your pet can get either the 1-year or 3-year vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rabies<\/a> is transmitted via bite wounds, usually by wildlife like skunks, bats, racoons, and foxes. The virus attaches to local muscle cells, then penetrates local nerves and ascends to the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no reliable effective treatment for rabies. Infection usually results in death of the animal. Once clinical signs are present, death can occur within 10 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your pet bites another animal or human and is not up to date on their rabies vaccine, depending on their vaccine history, they might have to be confined and observed at a veterinary facility for 10 days. If the animal shows any symptoms or there is suspicion that the pet might have rabies, their brain tissue must be submitted for sampling. This means that they must be humanely euthanized for tissue submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulations can vary by state or county, so it is important to keep up with current regulations. Visit rabiesaware.org<\/a> for more information regarding regulations in your area. Ultimately, prevention consists of vaccination as well as limiting exposure to wildlife. Please visit your local veterinarian if your pet is not up to date on the rabies vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccines in Dogs: Distemper (DAPP)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second core vaccine in dogs is the distemper vaccine (DAPP). This vaccine protects against the Distemper Virus, Parvovirus, Adenovirus 1 & 2, and Parainfluenza virus. The DAPP vaccine is started at 8 weeks of age and must be boostered at least 3 times, 3 to 4 weeks apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that your puppy will get a DAPP vaccine at 8 weeks,12 weeks, and 16 weeks old. After the initial puppy series, the vaccine becomes annual. It is also available in a 3-year version, which can be the year after your puppy\u2019s initial vaccine series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parvovirus<\/a> is a common viruses affecting puppies. Any puppy with clinical signs consisting of vomiting and diarrhea should be tested for parvovirus. A diagnosis can be made from a fecal sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intensive supportive care is needed to treat a dog that has been infected with parvovirus. Supportive care consists of hospitalization, fluid therapy, antibiotics, anti-nausea medication, anti-diarrheal medication, and monitoring blood work changes (particularly your dog’s white blood cells). Be prepared for a 5- to 7-day hospitalization as well as an expensive bill, depending on the severity of your dog’s illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without treatment, this virus can be fatal. Prevention is cheaper than treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccines in Dogs: Leptospirosis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the canine Leptospirosis vaccine is not a core vaccine, it is highly recommended in areas that have a high rodent population. It can be given as early as 12 weeks of age and needs to be boostered 3 to 4 weeks after an initial dose is given. After that, it is given annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dogs can become infected with this bacterium via open wounds or mucus membranes coming into contact with infected urine or infected water or soil. This bacterium can survive for weeks to months in the environment, so it is important to have your pet vaccinated if you live in an area that has a high rodent population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leptospirosis<\/a> is zoonotic, which means that humans can get infected as well. An infection can quickly lead to organ damage and can affect the kidneys and liver. Clinical signs can be very nonspecific, and treatment consists of antibiotics and supportive care. In severe cases infection can lead to irreversible organ damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccines in Dogs: Bordetella<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The canine Bordetella vaccine covers Canine Kennel Cough. It requires no booster and is given annually, although in some cases it is recommended to be given every 6 months. It can be delivered either intranasally or subcutaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bordetella<\/a> is essentially an infectious bronchitis and is spread within respiratory secretions from an infected dog. In crowded situations with many animals, for example, at a boarding or grooming facility, dogs can be more predisposed to infection due to close contact as well as poor ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinical signs can range from mild to severe symptoms, such as a hacking cough and pneumonia. Treatment consists of antibiotics and quarantine. Keep in mind that many boarding and grooming facilities require this vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccines in Dogs: Canine Influenza Virus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The canine influenza virus (CIV) vaccine requires one additional booster given 3 to 4 weeks after the initial dose. After that, it is given annually. It can be started as early as 16 weeks old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinical signs can be very similar to Bordetella and can include cough, sneezing, and nasal discharge. Outbreaks are most commonly associated with kennels where dogs are in close contact. This virus is spread via nasal secretions. It can be hard to distinguish Bordetella from CIV, so treatment consists of controlling secondary signs and treating symptomatically. That means antibiotics and cough suppressants, depending on the severity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccines in Dogs: Lyme Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The canine Lyme vaccine is a lifestyle vaccine for dogs that frequently go to forest preserves or camping. If you live in a highly wooded area, this vaccine is highly recommended due to tick exposure. It can be given any time after 16 weeks of age and requires one additional booster 3 to 4 weeks after the first dose. After that, it is an annual vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lyme disease<\/a> is spread via a bite from infected ticks. Lyme disease can be diagnosed with a SNAP 4DX heartworm test, which entails a blood sample from your dog. Results are obtained in no more than 8 minutes. However, a positive Lyme result does not differentiate exposure to the disease from active infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinical signs can vary and can be very nonspecific. These can include fever, fatigue, and swollen joints. Treatment consists of antibiotics and managing secondary symptoms. Don\u2019t forget your dog\u2019s monthly flea and tick preventatives, which can greatly reduce the chance of infection with Lyme disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccines in Cats: FVRCP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia (FVRCP) vaccine series, also called the cat distemper vaccine, should be started at 6 to 8 weeks of age. This is boostered every 3 to 4 weeks until your kitten is 16 weeks old. This vaccine is also available in a 3-year version that can be given the year after your kitten\u2019s initial vaccine series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feline panleukopenia<\/a> is similar to parvovirus in dogs. It is a very contagious and life-threatening infectious disease that can spread among cat colonies or cats housed with many other cats. An infected cat sheds the virus via secretions, e.g., feces, vomit, urine, saliva, and mucus membranes. Infection occurs when the virus enters through the nose or mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virus suppresses the immune system and depletes the cat\u2019s white blood cells, leaving the infected individual immunosuppressed and vulnerable to other infectious diseases. Clinical signs can be nonspecific and include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to parvovirus in dogs, treatment of a cat infected with panleukopenia consists of hospitalization, aggressive fluids therapy, antinausea and anti diarrheal medications, and supportive care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccines in Cats: Feline Leukemia Virus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your cat is an indoor\/outdoor cat, the feline leukemia vaccine is highly recommended due to socialization with other cats. This vaccine requires an additional booster 3 to 4 weeks after initial dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feline leukemia virus<\/a> (FLV) is spread through close social contact with saliva, blood, urine, or feces. There is no effective treatment, so treatment consists of supportive care. Prognosis after infection can be variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Last Reminder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vaccinating your dogs and cats is very important. If your pet is not up to date on vaccines or their annual wellness exam, please schedule an appointment with their primary care veterinarian to get their vaccines updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remember, prevention is cheaper than treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vacunas en Perros y Gatos<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Read in English<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La prevenci\u00f3n es m\u00e1s barata que el tratamiento. Una cita que siempre recordar\u00e9 del Dr. Vinu, una veterinaria con la que trabaj\u00e9 durante mis estudios en la UIC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las vacunas son muy cr\u00edticas en gatos y perros y sus series se inician a una edad muy temprana, incluso algunas vacunas necesitan ser reforzadas para que la mascota alcance la inmunidad adecuada. Hay muchas vacunas diferentes en gatos y perros. Algunas vacunas son vacunas b\u00e1sicas, lo que significa que se recomiendan para todos los pacientes, y otras se consideran vacunas de estilo de vida, lo que significa que depende de lo que haga su mascota. Su perro se aloja con frecuencia en un centro de alojamiento o va frecuentemente a la peluquer\u00eda, donde puede estar rodeado de muchos otros perros? Su perro va a reservas forestales o a viajes de campamento donde puede estar expuesto a las garrapatas? Su gato es un gato estrictamente de interior o un gato de interior\/exterior? Todas esas son excelentes preguntas que generalmente se hacen al comienzo de su examen anual de bienestar. S\u00ed, es posible que le hagamos muchas preguntas durante el examen de bienestar de su mascota, pero estamos reuniendo las piezas del rompecabezas para recomendar el mejor programa de vacunas para su mascota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vacuna contra la Rabia en Perros y Gatos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La ley exige que su mascota sea vacunada contra la rabia. Se recomienda que la vacuna contra la rabia canina y felina se administre a los 4 meses de edad, sin embargo, a veces se puede administrar antes en un refugio. La primera vacuna suele ser una vacuna de 1 a\u00f1o, sin embargo, al a\u00f1o siguiente, su mascota puede recibir la vacuna contra la rabia de 1 a\u00f1o o de 3 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La rab<\/a>ia<\/a> se transmite a trav\u00e9s de heridas por mordedura, generalmente por la vida silvestre como zorrillos, murci\u00e9lagos, mapaches y zorros. El virus se adhiere a las c\u00e9lulas musculares locales y luego penetra en los nervios locales y asciende al cerebro. No existe un tratamiento eficaz y fiable para la rabia y la infecci\u00f3n suele provocar la muerte del animal. Una vez que los signos cl\u00ednicos est\u00e1n presentes, la muerte puede ocurrir dentro de los 10 d\u00edas. Si su mascota muerde a otro animal o humano y no est\u00e1 al d\u00eda con la vacuna contra la rabia, dependiendo de su historial de vacunas, es posible que deba ser confinado y observado en un centro veterinario durante 10 d\u00edas. Si el animal muestra alg\u00fan s\u00edntoma o se sospecha que la mascota pueda tener rabia, se debe enviar su tejido cerebral para la toma de muestras. Esto significa que deben ser sacrificados humanamente para la presentaci\u00f3n de tejido. Las regulaciones pueden variar seg\u00fan el estado o el condado, por lo que es importante mantenerse al d\u00eda con las regulaciones actuales. Puede visitar rabiesaware.org<\/a> para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre las regulaciones en su \u00e1rea. En \u00faltima instancia, la prevenci\u00f3n consiste en vacunar y limitar la exposici\u00f3n a la vida silvestre. Visite a su veterinario local si su mascota no est\u00e1 al d\u00eda con la vacuna contra la rabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vacunas en Perros<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Distemper (DAPP):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La segunda vacuna b\u00e1sica en perros es la vacuna contra el distemper(DAPP). Esta vacuna protege contra los virus de distemper, el parvovirus, el adenovirus 1 y 2 y el virus de la parainfluenza. La vacuna DAPP se inicia a las 8 semanas de edad y debe reforzarse al menos 3 veces, con 3-4 semanas de diferencia. Esto significa que su cachorro recibir\u00e1 la vacuna DAPP a las 8, 12 y 16 semanas de edad. Despu\u00e9s de la serie inicial de cachorros, se vuelve anual. Esta vacuna tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 disponible en un a\u00f1o 3 que se puede administrar el a\u00f1o siguiente despu\u00e9s de la serie inicial de vacunas de sus cachorros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El parvovirus<\/a> es uno de los virus m\u00e1s comunes que cubre esta vacuna. Cualquier cachorro con signos cl\u00ednicos que consisten en v\u00f3mitos y diarrea debe someterse a una prueba de parvovirus y se puede llegar a un diagn\u00f3stico con una muestra fecal. Se necesitan cuidados intensivos para tratar a un perro que ha sido infectado con parvovirus y, en \u00faltima instancia, el tratamiento es de apoyo. La atenci\u00f3n de apoyo consiste en hospitalizaci\u00f3n, terapia de fluidos, antibi\u00f3ticos, medicamentos contra las n\u00e1useas, medicamentos contra la diarrea y el control de los cambios en los an\u00e1lisis de sangre (en particular, los gl\u00f3bulos blancos de su perro). Est\u00e9 preparado para una hospitalizaci\u00f3n de 5 a 7 d\u00edas, as\u00ed como para una factura costosa, seg\u00fan la gravedad de los s\u00edntomas de su perro. Sin tratamiento, este virus puede ser fatal. La prevenci\u00f3n es m\u00e1s barata que el tratamiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leptospirosis:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aunque la vacuna contra la leptospirosis canina no es una vacuna b\u00e1sica, es muy recomendable en \u00e1reas que tienen una alta poblaci\u00f3n de roedores. Puede administrarse tan pronto como a las 12 semanas de edad y debe reforzarse 3 o 4 semanas despu\u00e9s de administrar la dosis inicial. Despu\u00e9s de eso, se da anualmente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los perros pueden infectarse con esta bacteria a trav\u00e9s de heridas abiertas o membranas mucosas que entran en contacto con orina infectada o agua o tierra infectada. Esta bacteria puede sobrevivir durante semanas o meses en el medio ambiente, por lo que es importante vacunar a su mascota si vive en un \u00e1rea con una gran poblaci\u00f3n de roedores. La leptospirosis<\/a> es zoon\u00f3tica, lo que significa que los humanos tambi\u00e9n pueden infectarse. Esto puede conducir r\u00e1pidamente a da\u00f1os en los \u00f3rganos y puede afectar los ri\u00f1ones y el h\u00edgado. Los signos cl\u00ednicos pueden ser muy inespec\u00edficos y el tratamiento consiste en antibi\u00f3ticos y atenci\u00f3n de apoyo; sin embargo, en casos graves, puede provocar da\u00f1os irreversibles en los \u00f3rganos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bordetella:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La vacuna canina Bordetella cubre la tos canina. No requiere refuerzo y se administra anualmente, sin embargo en algunos casos se recomienda administrar cada 6 meses. Hay dos formas disponibles, por v\u00eda intranasal y por v\u00eda subcut\u00e1nea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bordetella es esencialmente una bronquitis infecciosa y se transmite dentro de las secreciones respiratorias de un perro infectado. En situaciones de hacinamiento donde hay muchos animales en una instalaci\u00f3n, por ejemplo, alojamiento o aseo, los perros pueden estar m\u00e1s predispuestos a la infecci\u00f3n debido al contacto cercano y a la mala ventilaci\u00f3n. Los signos cl\u00ednicos pueden variar desde s\u00edntomas leves a graves, como tos seca, hasta neumon\u00eda. El tratamiento consiste en antibi\u00f3ticos y cuarentena durante el tratamiento. Tenga en cuenta que muchas instalaciones de alojamiento y aseo requiere esta vacuna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virus de la influenza canina (CIV):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La vacuna contra el virus de la influenza canina requiere un refuerzo adicional administrado de 3 a 4 semanas despu\u00e9s de la primera dosis inicial, luego de lo cual se vuelve anual. Se puede iniciar desde las 16 semanas de edad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los signos cl\u00ednicos pueden ser muy similares a los de Bordetella y pueden incluir tos, estornudos y secreci\u00f3n nasal. Los brotes se asocian m\u00e1s com\u00fanmente con perreras donde los perros est\u00e1n en contacto cercano con otros perros y este virus se transmite a trav\u00e9s de las secreciones nasales. Puede ser dif\u00edcil distinguir Bordetella de CIV, por lo que el tratamiento consiste en controlar los signos secundarios y tratar sintom\u00e1ticamente. Eso significa antibi\u00f3ticos y supresores de la tos, seg\u00fan la gravedad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lyme:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La vacuna canina de Lyme es una vacuna de estilo de vida. Esto significa que si tu perro va con frecuencia a reservas forestales o a acampar, o si vives en una zona muy boscosa, es muy recomendable debido a la exposici\u00f3n a las garrapatas. Se puede administrar en cualquier momento despu\u00e9s de las 16 semanas de edad y requiere un refuerzo adicional de 3 a 4 semanas despu\u00e9s de la primera dosis inicial. Despu\u00e9s de eso, es una vacuna anual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La enfermedad de Lyme se transmite a trav\u00e9s de una picadura de garrapatas infectadas. La enfermedad de Lyme se puede diagnosticar con una prueba de gusano del coraz\u00f3n SNAP 4DX, que implica una muestra de sangre para su perro. Los resultados se obtienen en no m\u00e1s de 7-8 minutos. Sin embargo, incluso si su perro tiene un resultado positivo de Lyme, eso no diferencia la exposici\u00f3n frente a la infecci\u00f3n activa. Los signos cl\u00ednicos pueden variar y pueden ser muy inespec\u00edficos. Estos pueden incluir fiebre, fatiga, articulaciones inflamadas, etc. El tratamiento consiste en antibi\u00f3ticos y el control de los s\u00edntomas secundarios. No olvide los preventivos mensuales contra pulgas y garrapatas de sus perros, ya que pueden reducir en gran medida la posibilidad de infecci\u00f3n con la enfermedad de Lyme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vacunas en Gatos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FVRCP:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La serie de vacunas FVRCP (moquillo felino) debe comenzar a las 6-8 semanas de edad. Esta vacuna requiere refuerzos y se refuerza cada 3-4 semanas hasta que tu gatito tenga 16 semanas. Esta vacuna tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 disponible en un a\u00f1o 3 que se puede administrar el a\u00f1o siguiente despu\u00e9s de la serie inicial de vacunas de sus gatitos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FVRCP significa rinotraque\u00edtis viral felina, calicivirus y panleucopenia. La panleucopenia felina es similar al parvovirus en perros. Esta es una enfermedad infecciosa muy contagiosa y potencialmente mortal que puede afectar a las colonias de gatos o a los gatos alojados con muchos otros gatos si una persona est\u00e1 infectada. Un gato infectado elimina el virus a trav\u00e9s de secreciones, que incluyen heces, v\u00f3mito, orina, saliva y membranas mucosas. La infecci\u00f3n se produce cuando el virus entra por la nariz o la boca. El virus suprime el sistema inmunol\u00f3gico y agota los gl\u00f3bulos blancos del gato, dejando al individuo infectado inmunosuprimido y vulnerable a otras enfermedades infecciosas. Los signos cl\u00ednicos pueden ser inespec\u00edficos e incluyen fiebre, v\u00f3mitos, diarrea y letargo. Similar al parvovirus en perros, el tratamiento de un gato infectado con panleucopenia consiste en hospitalizaci\u00f3n, fluidoterapia agresiva, as\u00ed como antin\u00e1useas, antidiarreicas y atenci\u00f3n de apoyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virus de la leucemia felina<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Si su gato es un gato de interior\/exterior, la vacuna contra la leucemia felina es muy recomendable debido a la socializaci\u00f3n con otros gatos. Esta vacuna requiere un refuerzo adicional de 3 a 4 semanas despu\u00e9s de la dosis inicial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FeLV (virus de la leucemia felina) se propaga a trav\u00e9s del contacto social cercano con saliva, sangre, orina, heces. No existe un tratamiento eficaz, por lo que el tratamiento consiste en cuidados de apoyo. El pron\u00f3stico despu\u00e9s de la infecci\u00f3n puede ser variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Es muy importante vacunar a sus perros y gatos. Si su mascota no est\u00e1 al d\u00eda con las vacunas o su examen anual de bienestar, programe una cita con su veterinario de atenci\u00f3n primaria para actualizar sus vacunas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y recuerda, la prevenci\u00f3n es m\u00e1s barata que el tratamiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
