As a cat owner, you have a responsibility to protect the cat. One of the things you'll need to do is to have the cat vaccinated.

6-8 weeks old

The first vaccination will need to happen when he is about six to eight weeks old. Before now, his mother's antibodies are helping to protect him. But, once he is weaned from the mother, he needs his own antibodies to protect him.

The vet will give your kitten a physical exam which will likely include a fecal exam to insure that the cat doesn't have worms. Before vaccinating them, they will do a blood test to insure that the does not already have Feline Leukemia or Feline Infectius Peritonitis. These tests don't take long to be done, likely only minutes. The first vaccine to be received will likely be Feline Leukemia and FIP vaccines. Cats that never leave their home may not need these vaccines.

But, all cats are likely to receive FVRCPC vaccine even if he never leaves home. This vaccine is actually a combination of several vaccines. FVRCPC protects kittens from rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleudopenia and chlamydia.

10-12 weeks old

Two to four weeks later, you cat will need to visit the vet again. This time he will get his second FVRCPC vaccine and his second FIP and feline Leukemia vaccines as well. He may get a second worming too if he had one at his first visit. When they reach twelve weeks old, those cats that spend time outdoors will also need their first rabies vaccine.

The next visit will happen at ten to sixteen weeks old. The third FVRCPC vaccine will be given. And some cats will get their rabies shot now too.

1 year old

At one year old, the cat will need Rabies and FVRCPC vaccines again. If the rabies shot is given within one year of the first one, it will be good for up to three years. The cat will return though for FVRCPC vaccines each year. He'll also receive boosters of FIP and Feline Leukemia as well.

Your pet needs these vaccines to stay healthy. Although they are meant to help your pet stay healthy, the cat may develop a reaction to the injection itself. Although rare, the cat can develop a cancer from the Leukemia vaccines and that is why they are not recommended for cats that do not need them. Also, cats can develop lumps or tumors as well. It is important that you make sure to let the vet know if there are any signs of these things with your pet.

When you follow these simple steps you kitten should be assured a happy and healthy future.

Elder dogs need restricted protein but the protein needs to be easily digestible and easily assimilated in the body. The diet schedule should have ample supply of water for them. Feeding aged dogs too much protein may finally lead to over burden to the renal structures and ultimately, the dog may end up damaging filters in the kidney.

One of the most important things you can do is to fill your diet with foods that are rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants actually help to destroy the toxins, also called free radicals, that build up in the body. When you increase your intake of antioxidants, you will be ridding your body of harmful substances and overall, you will feel much healthier.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are your first line of defense as they are a good source of antioxidants. The body can not store vitamin C, which is an antioxidant, so it is vital that you make certain that you are getting enough. Citrus fruits, green peppers, green leafy veggies, and broccoli are a great source of vitamin C, so you should make sure you are getting the proper amount each day. Those with the highest amount of antioxidants include the small red bean, wild blueberry, and red kidney bean.
