A lot. Kittens are very active and playful but do not know how much their teeth and nails can hurt. This behavior is normal, and they will reach full maturity by about a year.

Vaccines from other sources may not be as effective in stimulating the proper immunologic response that vaccines from a veterinary clinic would provide. Ensuring your kitten receives the appropriate vaccine to create a strong immunologic response is crucial for their protection against various diseases.

It is best to limit your kitten's exposure to other potentially infectious cats until they are fully vaccinated. Keep your kitten indoors until they have received their full set of vaccines.

If your kitten misses a vaccine, bring them in for another dose as soon as possible. Depending on where they are in their schedule, an additional dose may be needed three to four weeks later.

Common side effects include tenderness at the injection site and mild lethargy or reduced appetite for about 24 hours. Uncommon side effects, which could indicate a vaccine reaction, include vomiting, diarrhea, facial swelling, or other unusual symptoms. These reactions are rare but can occur.

Yes, it is highly recommended to administer all vaccines for kittens, even if they are going to be indoor cats. Situations can change over time, and it is better to prevent potential viruses and bacterial infections if the kitten were to get outside or become an outdoor cat later in life.

The first vaccine should be given between six to eight weeks of age, followed by a booster three weeks later. Three weeks after that, the last set of boosters will be given, including the feline distemper, rabies vaccine, and the feline leukemia vaccine if needed.

It is recommended to start vaccinations anywhere from six to eight weeks of age, or as soon as you adopt your kitten. If they have not had any prior vaccines, the first set will be given and then repeated about every three weeks.

For kittens, all vaccines are considered core vaccines. However, if your kitten is going to be in an area with a lot of other cats, a chlamydia vaccine may be added, which is part of the FVRCP. This vaccine is not carried at every clinic, but many shelters use it due to the high risk of exposure in those environments.

The core vaccines for kittens include the feline distemper vaccine (also known as FVRCP, which stands for respiratory complex vaccines), the feline leukemia vaccine for kittens or young adult cats under one year of age, and the rabies vaccine.
