Fevaxyn Pentofel
Indications, contra-indications, undesirable effects
For the active immunisation of healthy cats 9 weeks and older against Feline Panleucopenia Virus, and Feline Leukaemia and against respiratory diseases caused by Feline Rhinotracheitis Virus, Feline Calicivirus and Feline Chlamydia psittaci .
Only healthy cats should be vaccinated. Vaccination of pregnant queens is not recommended.
A small percentage of vaccinated cats may develop post-vaccinal reactions including transient fever, vomiting, anorexia and/or depression, which usually disappear within 24 hours.
A local reaction with swelling, pain pruritis or hair loss at the injection site may be occasionally observed. In very rare cases an anaphylactoid reaction with oedema, pruritis, respiratory and cardiac distress, severe gastrointestinal signs or shock have been seen during the first few hours after vaccination. In the case of an anaphylactoid reaction, adrenaline should be administered intramuscularly.
If you notice any other side effects, please inform your veterinary surgeon. No information is available on the safety and efficacy of the current use of this vaccine with any other. Therefore it is recommended that no other vaccines should be administered within fourteen days before or after vaccination with this product.
Vaccination of FeLV positive cats is of no benefit. Vaccination does not affect the course of FeLV infection in cats already infected with FeLV at the time of vaccination, implying that such cats will excrete FeLV irrespective of vaccination; consequently, these animals will constitute a hazard to susceptible cats in their environment. It is therefore recommended that cats with a significant risk of having been exposed to FeLV be tested for FeLV antigen prior to vaccination. Test negative animals can be vaccinated, while test positive cats should be isolated from other cats and re-tested within 1-2 months. Cats positive at the second testing should be considered as being permanently infected with FeLV and should be handled accordingly. Cats negative at second testing can be vaccinated since, in all likelihood, they have overcome the FeLV infection.
