VACCINATIONS 💉 & IMMUNE SERUMS🧪

⁉️What's the importance of vaccinating you're pets?

The answer is that it saves❤️‍🩹 them from aquiring multiple lethal diseases.
A vaccine is a weakened🧬 or killed virus 🦠or bacterial cell protein that stimulated the body to produce immune response against the respective pathogen without causing the disease💊.

⁉️Which vaccines to use?

In my experience🩺, live vaccines are better suited in our country, Pakistan 🇵🇰 , where stray population 🐕 🐈‍⬛🐕 still exceeds the pets 🦮 and mass no of animals are Non vaccinated.
Live vaccines 💉 produce a long term immunity compared to killed vaccines .
Killed vaccines have been shown to produce failures ❌many a times since they produce immunity for not more than 6months in these conditions.

⁉️Which diseases to vaccinate your pets for?

🅰️ Major vaccines also known as core vaccines include:

Cat- P - panleukopenia
C - Calicivirus
H - Herpesvirus
R - Rabies

Dog- D - Distemper virus
H - Hepatitis virus
P - Parvovirus
Pi - Parainfluenza virus
L - Leptospirosis
R - Rabies

🅱️ Othervaccines available in Pakistan but are not core vaccines include:
Cats- Chlamydia vaccine

Dogs- Bordetella bronchoseptica (Kennel
cough)

⁉️Should serum shots be give before vaccinations?

Different vaccination schedules can be followed based on an animal's environment, state of health, colostrum intake, and Mother's history.

❕ Some puppies 🐶 are given serum shots 💉 prior to starting thier vaccination schedules and that is completely fine 💯, Infact that is a more safer route to keep your puppies safe from life threatening diseases..

Will discuss about vaccination schedules in the next post 🔜!

SUMMER CUTS! 🔆 in DOGS!!

⁉️Why pets need a summer cut?

🟡Dogs have bodily mechanisms against the heat waves however they do not have sweating mechanisms as efficient as we do and so are more prone to heat strokes, especially the long haired ones!

🟡The more sensitive dog breeds are those with a finer under coat hair which they do not shed as much and thus making them more prone to heat stroke.

🟡Smaller dogs and long haired cats are more sensitive to heat waves however this does not exclude the larger dogs from the list.

🟢Another important aspect of summers is that the dogs start to shed their hair and this creates a mess!!
🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵

🟣 OTHER IMPORTANT REASONS FOR A TIME TO TIME HAIR CUT:
♾ To prevent Matting
♾To prevent from smaller wounds turning into infected or maggot wounds often left unseen because of the long coat
♾ To maintain a better skin hygiene, preventing from fungal infections or dermatitic conditions...

🔛🔛🔛🔛🔛🔛🔛🔛🔛🔛🔛🔛🔛🔛🔛
In order to avoid all these problems and depending on the pet's breed, age, and conditions in which he's kept, a summer trim may or may not be required!

⁉️Which pets require a summer cut:

▪️Particularly those breeds which have a longer coat like double coated German shephs, Golden retrievers , Huskies or those of the shorter stature like poodles, labradoodles, shih tzu and the like....

〽️BENEFITS:
➕Cooling effect in summers
➕Less chance of heat stroke
➕Less summer shedding
➕Counters the less feed intake in summers to some extent
➕Creates a comfortable situation for the pet as well as for the owner considering the less hair shed

➿DEMERITS:
➖Makes skin more prone to damaging effects of direct sunlight so requires some clothing to wear while going in direct sunlight..
➖Lesser aesthetic appearance..

MYTHS:
🤦🏻‍♂️MYTH NO. 1: HAIR DOESNT GROW BACK:
This could only be witnessed by a person himself but there is no such phenomenon that prevents hair from growing back after a hair cut!
However there are some underlying conditions that may result in inhibiting the hair growth or producing a dull hair coat. Treating the underlying condition will treat the hair growth problem aswell!! 😃
MYTH NO. 2: LONG HAIR/DOUBLE COAT ACTS AS AN INSULATOR:
A common sense would suggest you to consider wearing a Double coated jacket and roam around in the hot summer season 🔥 in it.. Would it protect you from the heat? THERE'S YOUR ANSWER‼️

⭕️Hope this post creates a better understanding of why summer trims are important especially in Pet breeds!

Upon examination 🩺 the cat had an oronasal fistula and resulting from that there was almost always rhinitis and and upper respiratory infection.

What is a Cleft Palate⁉️
A congenital oronasal fistula is an abnormal communication between the oral and nasal cavities involving the soft palate, hard palate, premaxilla, and/or lip. The primary palate consists of the lip and premaxilla.
