Vaccinations you need to get your cat
Vaccinating pets is a cornerstone of responsible pet care, safeguarding them from life-threatening diseases and enhancing their overall health. Dr Shambhavi Avinash Sabnis, a veterinary specialist from Tailsmen Veterinary Specialty, Pune, explained that a consistent vaccination regimen is vital for maintaining your pets' long-term well-being. 'Cats require core vaccinations like the FVRCP combination vaccine, which protects against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia, as well as a rabies vaccine,' explains Dr Sabnis. Non-core vaccines, such as those for feline leukaemia virus (FeLV), are recommended for cats with outdoor access or frequent contact with other felines. Cats in multi-cat households or at risk of respiratory infections might benefit from additional vaccines tailored to their environment and lifestyle. Maintaining immunity often requires booster vaccines at regular intervals. 'Following the recommended vaccination schedule ensures continued protection against diseases,' Dr. Sabnis advises. 'While most pets tolerate vaccines well, animals with weakened immune systems or a history of severe allergic reactions may face challenges,' notes Dr Sabnis. In such cases, antibody titer tests can assess existing immunity levels, reducing the need for unnecessary vaccinations. Cat parents should monitor their furry companions after vaccinations for mild side effects like swelling, lethargy, or discomfort. 'If severe reactions occur, it's essential to consult your veterinarian immediately,' she adds. Discussing your pet's health history and past adverse reactions with your veterinarian is crucial to ensuring their safety. Vaccinations play a pivotal role in preventive healthcare for pets, protecting them from a range of illnesses while promoting longevity. With personalised guidance from your veterinarian and adherence to recommended schedules, you can provide your pets with the best defense against preventable diseases.

Your dogs should receive vaccinations against several diseases, here's a checklist
Vaccination is a cornerstone of responsible pet care, protecting pets from a variety of diseases and ensuring their overall well-being. Across India, veterinary clinics and pet hospitals provide a range of essential immunisations for dogs, cats, and even birds. However, understanding the specifics of pet vaccination schedules and their importance is crucial for every pet owner. Core vaccines for dogs Core vaccines, essential for all dogs, include the rabies vaccine and the combination vaccine for distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, leptospirosis, and parainfluenza—commonly referred to as DHPP or DHP. These protect dogs from highly contagious and potentially fatal diseases, said Dr Shambhavi Avinash Sabnis, Tailsmen Veterinary Specialty, Pune, Maharashtra. For dogs with active outdoor lifestyles or frequent exposure to tick-prone areas, non-core vaccines may be recommended. These include vaccines for canine coronavirus, kennel cough, and Lyme disease, according to Dr Sabnis. Consulting with a veterinarian can help determine the right immunization plan based on your pet's environment and activities. By staying informed and proactive about vaccinations, pet owners can safeguard their furry companions' health, ensuring a long and happy life. (file) Maintaining a vaccination schedule Adhering to a recommended vaccination schedule is vital, as most vaccines require regular boosters to maintain immunity. Dr Sabnis advised discussing any past health concerns or allergic reactions with your veterinarian before vaccinating your pet. Post-vaccination, monitor your pets for mild side effects such as swelling or lethargy. For severe reactions, seek immediate veterinary attention. Not all pets respond equally to vaccines, said Dr Sabnis. Animals with weakened immune systems or those with a history of severe allergic reactions may experience challenges. In such cases, antibody titer tests—which measure existing immunity levels—can help minimise unnecessary vaccinations.

Moraga residents file lawsuit against town over wildfire evacuation concerns
(KRON) — The devastating fires in Los Angeles have Bay Area residents on edge about what might happen here. Now, some Moraga residents have filed a lawsuit against the town — saying it must study wildfire evacuation routes to better prepare for the future. Few can forget the backup of cars trying to evacuate last month's Palisades Fire or the bulldozers moving abandoned cars out of the way of firetrucks and evacuees. Some Moraga residents fear — with two two-lane roads to get in and out of town — Moraga's 16,000+ residents face a similar evacuation nightmare should a fire break out. There is a 'renaissance' in San Francisco, NBA commissioner says Cheryl Sabnis is with Safe Moraga. The organization has just filed a lawsuit against the Town of Moraga, alleging it has violated the California Environmental Quality Act by approving a 66-unit development project, without first studying how it will impact residents evacuating during a wildfire. 'To evacuate Moraga, you are leaving from one central point and either trying to go through Orinda on Moraga Way, which you can see behind me or you're trying to go through Lafayette on Moraga Road, which is a similarly narrow two-lane road,' Sabnis said. 'We fully expect there will be development in the town of Moraga, but it must not be done with the head in the sand. 'We have to actually understand what we're putting, where we're putting it, and what the impact is on evacuation. And frankly, I think we need more routes out of town, and if we're going to do that, it's time to figure that out now, not after we have a massive fire that injures or potentially kills residents who are trying to get out.' Protest against Musk, Trump erupts outside SF Tesla dealership: video Safe Moraga wants the town council to conduct a study on wildfire evacuation safety to give residents a fighting chance of escaping if need be. 'The difficulty here is, when you have so much population concentrated in such a in such a tiny place serviced by only narrow roadways, the minute you yell 'fire,' it's going to be a panic,' Sabnis said. Officials with the Town of Moraga say they have not yet been served with the lawsuit and cannot provide any comment at this time. Safe Moraga says this lawsuit could go away but only if the city studies this issue and then comes up with a plan for a wildfire evacuation. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
