Vaccinations
At Maldon Road Veterinary practice we offer routine vaccinations. We recommend cats, dogs and rabbits are protected against disease at an annual appointment. During you visit we will conduct a full health check on your animal to ensure they are at their peak of fitness. We can give advice on the ongoing health of your pet .
Rabbit vaccinations are important, they need to be fully protected against Myxomatosis and both types of Haemorrhagic disease (RHD1 , RHD2). A single injection is now available for both of these conditions.
Rabbits can be vaccinated from 5 weeks of age.
Kittens can be vaccinated once they are 8 to 9 weeks old, your kitten will be examined by a vet. once they have had an initial injection this will be followed up with a second injection three weeks later.
Vaccinations should be maintained yearly. The vet will be able to advise on a further vaccination regime.
At the age of 6 – 8 weeks old, they can have their first vaccinations . This consists of two or three injections, given 2 to 4 weeks apart. Some puppies will have their first of these vaccinations while they are still with their breeder.
Having your dog regularly vaccinated keeps their immunity topped up and protected against a number of dog diseases. such as Canine Parvovirus , Distemper , Leptospirosis , Canine Hepatitis.
Under normal circumstances adult dogs have a vaccination every year to top up their immunity to disease.
