The vaccine will protect your kitten against feline distemper, and is a core vaccination that is recommended for all cat owners. Without it, your cat will be at high risk for contracting feline distempter, which is a parvovirus with serious complications. It is highly contagious and your cat can get infected anywhere, including in your own home.

FVRCP is a series of vaccines for kittens around 6-8 weeks. FVR (feline viral rhinotracheitis) is an airborne virus that affects a cats respitory system. The C (calicivirus) which affects their mouth, nose and eye membranes. The P (panluekopenia virus) is compared to the parvovirus seen in dogs.

The FVRCP vaccine is set of shots generally given to kittens between 6-8 weeks of age. The set of shots is given in a series of four shots three weeks apart. These shots are given to prevent several different highly contagious feline diseases. FCR stand for Feline Viral Rhonitracheitis. C stands for Calicivirus infection. P stands for Panleukopenia.

It is a series of 4 injections given to a cat at a young age (six to eight weeks) to fight and prevent infections.

There are only 2 doses given to kittens, not four. The shots are given at three week intervals. High risk adult cats should receive an annual booster. add a comment
