Do cats get cat distemper even after being vaccinated?
Usually, cats start immunization at around 2 months old, with some starting as early as 45 days. The normal immunization procedure is to deworm the cat first, then administer the vaccine. If the vaccination is unsuccessful, the cat may still contract the disease. Common cat vaccines on the market include Intervet's cat triple vaccine and Pfizer's MaxiVac, as well as some less common Taiwanese and domestic vaccines. Immunizing too early may also lead to vaccination failure.
Causes of vaccination failure:
Common causes of vaccination failure include improper storage of the vaccine, individual differences in the body, immunological paralysis leading to failed vaccination, and early vaccination timing.
Symptomatic drug usage recommendations:
Common clinical symptoms of cat distemper include vomiting and diarrhea, which may be severe enough to cause bleeding. Treatment consists of two parts: supportive therapy to replenish the body's lost fluids, regulate blood acid-base balance and ionic balance,消炎 and inhibit gastric acid secretion; and antiviral therapy, using interferons, inhibitory proteins, monoclonal antibodies, and macropeptides to inhibit virus replication and increase white blood cells to prevent secondary infections.
** Precautions:**
If the cat has severe vomiting in the early stage, fasting is necessary and anti-vomiting shots may be given. The cat can start eating small amounts after 12 hours without vomiting, gradually restoring gastrointestinal peristalsis with small, frequent meals until normalcy is reached.
