Uses

To stimulate the production of serum neutralising antibodies against feline infectious enteritis (panleucopenia) and respiratory disease due to feline rhinotracheitis virus and calicivirus (cat flu).

Dosage and administration

The contents of a pre-filled syringe should be shaken well and administered by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection using aseptic technique.

Cats aged 8 weeks and older

For an initial vaccination course two doses are required, injected at an interval of 3–4 weeks.

Booster Vaccination

Boost annually with a single dose of vaccine.

Contra-indications, warnings, etc

Do not use during pregnancy.

Do not vaccinate unhealthy cats. A small percentage of vaccinated cats may develop post-vaccinal reactions including transient fever, listlessness and temporary swellings at the injection site which usually disappear within 2 days. In the event of an allergic reaction, immediate treatment should be given using adrenaline, corticosteroid or antihistamine.

No information is available on the safety and efficacy from the concurrent use of this vaccine except those containing inactivated feline leukaemia virus. It is therefore recommended that no other vaccines than these should be administered within 14 days before or after vaccination with the product. Do not mix with any other vaccine / immunological product.

To the user

This product contains mineral oil. Accidental injection/self injection may result in severe pain and swelling, particularly if injected into a joint or finger, and in rare cases could result in the loss of the affected finger if prompt medical attention is not given.

If you are accidentally injected with this product, seek prompt medical advice even if only a very small amount is injected and take the package insert with you.

If pain persists for more than 12 hours after medical examination, seek medical advice again.

To the physician

This product contains mineral oil. Even if small amounts have been injected, accidental injection with this product can cause intense swelling, which may, for example, result in ischaemic necrosis and even the loss of a digit.
