Vaccination in Kyiv

Vaccination and revaccination of animals often play a crucial role in protecting pets. The manipulation is based on the introduction of antigenic material into the body in order to induce immunity to the disease, preventing animals from becoming infected with the most common viral diseases.

What are dangerous viral diseases in animals?

Dangerous diseases for dogs include canine distemper, infectious canine hepatitis, adenovirus diseases, parvovirus enteritis, coronavirus enteritis, canine parainfluenza, leptospirosis, and rabies.

This is a highly contagious viral disease of animals, characterized by fever, acute catarrhal inflammation of the mucous membranes, skin rash, pneumonia and severe damage to the nervous system. The mortality rate can be 80-90%. The source of the pathogen is sick and sick animals, which secrete the virus into the external environment with discharge from the nose, eyes, saliva, urine and feces. Dogs that have had plague and do not have clinical signs secrete the virus into the external environment for up to 3 months.

It is an acute and contagious viral disease of dogs, characterized by fever, inflammation of the mucous membranes, respiratory system and digestive organs, and liver damage. A puppy or dog with a more severe form of infectious hepatitis may also show the following symptoms: bruising of the skin; red spots on the skin; swollen and enlarged lymph nodes. Infectious canine hepatitis is transmitted through the blood, nasal discharge, saliva, urine or feces of infected dogs. It is a virus that can survive for a long time in canine communities and is very difficult to eradicate because it is resistant.

This is a dangerous infection that affects the respiratory system and liver. A sick pet can easily transmit the infection to other dogs, and in a weakened body, it can be fatal.
This is a very dangerous, rapidly progressing infectious disease of dogs of all breeds. Clinical manifestations of the disease are accompanied by lethargy, refusal to eat, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, gradual development of dehydration of the animal’s body and the development of myocarditis. Often the rapid progression of symptoms leads to death!
This is an extremely contagious viral disease of dogs, which is characterized by intestinal damage. On its own, coronavirus most often occurs in the form of mild diarrhea, but with concomitant diseases, such as, for example, helminthiasis, enteritis of various etiologies, it becomes fatal.
An acute disease of mammals caused by the filamentous microorganism leptospira. The disease is a zooanthroponosis, meaning that animals and humans are affected. In dogs, the main site of entry of leptospira into the body is the digestive tract. Infection usually occurs when infected food or water from natural reservoirs is swallowed. There are two main stages in the development of the disease. The first stage is characterized by active reproduction of the pathogen in the blood and parenchymal organs, which leads to increased penetration of blood vessels. In the second stage (toxic), the death and disintegration of leptospira occurs, which leads to the release of their toxins and dysfunction of the affected liver and kidneys.
Rabies
This is an acute infectious disease of both animals and humans, caused by the neurotropic Rabies virus of the genus Lyssavirus. It is characterised by the development of a specific form of encephalitis with rapid damage to the central nervous system. The fatality rate can reach 85–95%.

In cats: calicivirus infection, viral rhinotracheitis, panleukopenia (feline distemper), chlamydiosis and rabies.

This is a highly contagious disease with an acute course, characterised by fever, discharge from the eyes and nose, and ulcerative lesions of the oral cavity. The source of infection is sick animals or those that have already recovered. The virus can be shed into the environment through eye and nasal discharge and saliva. An animal can become infected with calicivirus through direct contact with sick or recovered individuals, contaminated food, airborne droplets, or indirectly through clothing or care items.

This is one of the most common upper respiratory tract infections in cats. It is particularly dangerous for elderly cats and kittens under six months of age, among whom the mortality rate reaches 30%. Delayed diagnosis and failure to treat the condition can lead to the disease progressing from acute to chronic form. Infection occurs through airborne droplets or direct contact with an infected animal. However, transmission through objects used by a sick cat is also possible — including bedding, grooming tools, toys, and food or water bowls. A person in contact with a sick animal can carry the infection on their hands, shoes and clothing for several hours or even a full day at temperatures above 20°C.

This is an acute, highly contagious viral disease characterised by damage to the gastrointestinal tract, fever, respiratory syndrome and general intoxication. The source of infection is sick animals. The virus is shed through faeces and vomit. Transmission via insects and transplacental infection of kittens is also possible.

This is a type of bacterial infection that causes conjunctivitis in cats and kittens. Eye infections are often combined with upper respiratory tract infections. Together, this condition is known as “cat flu” and is caused by several different pathogens — most commonly Feline Herpesvirus type 1 (FHV) and Feline Calicivirus (FCV), which are very common in cats. These symptoms may also indicate the presence of bacteria such as Mycoplasma.
This is an acute infectious disease of both animals and humans, caused by the neurotropic Rabies virus of the genus Lyssavirus. It is characterised by the development of a specific form of encephalitis with rapid damage to the central nervous system. The fatality rate can reach 85–95%.

In rabbits: Viral Haemorrhagic Disease, Myxomatosis and Rabies

This is a severe infectious disease in which the animal’s internal organs are affected. It is also referred to as necrotising hepatitis or haemorrhagic pneumonia due to serious complications affecting the respiratory organs and liver.

This is a severe, mostly fatal viral disease. It is characterised by mucopurulent conjunctivitis and rhinitis, the formation of tumour-like nodules on the skin, and oedematous gelatinous infiltration of the subcutaneous tissue around the head, legs, spine, external genitalia and anus. The disease spreads easily between rabbits through vector transmission — that is, by blood-sucking insects such as fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.

Pre-vaccination guidelines for dogs

  1. Deworming is required 2 weeks before vaccination. If parasites are detected, treatment should be repeated after 10 days, and vaccination may only be carried out 48 hours after the final treatment.
  2. Monitor your pet’s condition for 7 days before vaccination: temperature, bowel movements and activity levels.
  3. The owner should ensure the dog is well-fed and in good health. If any signs of illness are noticed, please contact your veterinarian. The vet will carry out a check-up and, if necessary, run tests. If the pet is found to be unwell, vaccination will be postponed until full recovery.
  4. Avoid stressful situations and do not disrupt your pet’s usual routine. Stress weakens the immune system, which may prevent the body from responding correctly to the antigen.

Contraindications to vaccination include: elevated body temperature; infections or any disease in the acute stage; severe exhaustion; parasitic infection; immunodeficiency; pregnancy.
