I have received some confusing information from the shelter and our vet regarding how many shots my little one needs:
Lulu came to the shelter at approximately 5 weeks old as a stray and was given the FVRCP shot. When I adopted her at approximately 11-12 weeks I took her to our vet where she received a booster. We were told to make another appointment for the 3rd round in about 4 weeks ( later today).
The lady at the shelter said that the vet would tell us that kittens need 3 rounds, but that 2 are really enough and that's what they do at the shelter.
I read in one of the threads here that the last shot needs to be given after 16 weeks, so I was leaning towards keeping the appointment. However, I just looked at the paperwork from the last visit and it states:
"reminder: VX: FVRCP BOOSTER - 1 year"
What does this mean, that Lulu needs a booster in a year (then why the appointment for today?), when she is one year old? Was the lady at the shelter correct?
