Age:
4 year old domestic longhair male
Shelter History:
Dec 3 / 2013 - Neutered
Dec 18 / 2013: FVRCP / Revolution / Strongid T (Recommend 1 month later - Jan 18 / 2014 - FVRCP / Revolution / Strongid T)

Adoption:
January 10 / 2014
Veterinary Visit:
January 16 / 2014
-Reason: shots per shelter recommendation above, scratching ears, cloudy left eye.
-Results: no scratch on left eye - conjunctivitis determined, eyes drops to be administered 3x daily for 2 weeks.
-Results: tested negative for ear mites, ear drops to be administered 2x daily for 2 weeks.
-Discovery: Level 4 to 5 heart murmur - recommendation echocardiogram.
-Fecal sample sent away to labs
Shots - FVRCP/C & FLV#2, Fel-O-Vax LvK IV + CaliciVax
I asked this previously but it was buried in someone else's thread,so I thought I'd start a fresh thread.
To be specific, why did the Vet. I went to on Jan.16th, give another round of FVRCP/C & FLV#2 (whatever that is) to an adult cat, ~ month after the first FVRCP?
At the most, shouldn't it be yearly, or at the minimum 3 years like many of you folks recommend?
It should also be mentioned that he didn't ask me if he was an indoor or outdoor cat.
He's indoor only, YET, at some point in the future - may come into contact with a golden retriever who obviously goes outside.
Are there different dosage strength FVRCP and Rabies shots?
thanks once again,
Marc
