Leukocell 2
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not vaccinate unhealthy or pregnant animals.
On very rare occasions, soft painless swellings (<1cm average) may occur after vaccination, which may be evident as painless hard nodules for up to 21 days. Transient increases in rectal temperature for up to 48 hours may also be observed. A small proportion of cats may show reduced activity for 1 or 2 days after vaccination and pain on injection (generally slight) may be observed. Rare occurrences of anaphylaxis and gastro-enteric signs (emesis and diarrhoea) have been reported after vaccination.
When Leukocell 2 and Felocell CVR are administered simultaneously, incidence of local reactions may be increased.
No reactions other than those listed above have been observed after an accidental overdose.
Vaccination is of no known clinical value in cats with pre-existing FeLV infection, nor will it change the natural course of the disease.
If an anaphylactic reaction occurs, institute treatment immediately according to the clinical signs using adrenaline or other appropriate medication.
The use of immunosuppressant drugs or procedures within one month of vaccination is contra-indicated.
The effect of maternally derived antibodies (MDA) on the response to vaccination is not known, but on the basis of published data and field use it is expected that the levels of MDA that will be present at 9 weeks of age will not interfere with the response to vaccination.
Operator warning:
In case of accidental self-injection, wash the area immediately with water. If symptoms develop, seek medical attention showing a copy of the product literature.
