- What are the core vaccination recommendations for cats at this clinic?

They also offer rabies vaccinations and recommend the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) vaccine for all cats, even those kept indoors, to ensure protection if the cat is ever introduced to new animals or goes outside.
- What should I do if my pet is exposed to a Bufo toad?
- If your pet has touched a Bufo toad, symptoms may include disorientation, excessive drooling or foaming at the mouth, and seizures. If the pet is conscious and not seizing, you should flush their mouth with running water from a hose, being careful not to let them drink the water. If the pet is seizing, unconscious, falling over, or becoming stiff, you should bring them to the hospital immediately.
- What is the vaccination schedule for canine distemper and parvovirus?
- Distemper and parvovirus vaccines are administered as a combination vaccine starting at 6 to 8 weeks of age. Boosters are given every 3 weeks until the puppy is at least 16 weeks old. A follow-up booster is required at one year of age, and subsequently, the vaccine should be administered every three years to maintain critical protection.
