Vaccinations for dogs and cats at the Begemotas veterinary clinic

Vaccinations for dogs and cats prevent diseases that could cause serious health problems or even death in animals if left unvaccinated. At the Begemotas Veterinary Clinic, veterinarians recommend vaccinating cats, dogs, ferrets, and rabbits against infectious diseases as recommended by vaccine manufacturers.

Puppies and kittens are vaccinated according to different schedules based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. Annual rabies vaccinations are mandatory under Lithuanian law.

  • Rabies is a deadly disease caused by the rabies virus. The rabies virus is transmitted through bites or other forms of contact with an infected animal. Since rabies is dangerous to humans, vaccination against this disease is essential for both cats and public health. Specialists at the Begemotas Veterinary Clinic remind that, according to Lithuanian law, rabies vaccination is mandatory for cats.
  • Feline panleukopenia (feline distemper) is a highly contagious viral disease caused by parvovirus. The disease has a high mortality rate, especially among kittens. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and dehydration. The feline distemper vaccine is one of the most important and necessary vaccines for every cat.
  • Feline viral rhinotracheitis and calicivirus infection (upper respiratory tract diseases). These two diseases are most commonly found as causes of respiratory tract infections in cats. Rhinotracheitis is caused by feline herpesvirus, while calicivirus infection is caused by calicivirus. Both diseases cause a runny nose, coughing, sneezing, eye discharge, and other respiratory symptoms. Although these diseases are not usually fatal in adult cats, they can be very dangerous for young kittens and older cats. Vaccination helps protect cats from these infections.
  • Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a dangerous disease that can cause a weakened immune system, anemia, and even cancer. The virus is transmitted through infected saliva, urine, feces, or blood, and can also be passed from mother to offspring. Although not all cats infected with FeLV will develop the disease, the presence of the virus in the body significantly increases the risk of serious health problems. Vaccination against FeLV is recommended for cats that may come into contact with other cats, especially outdoor cats.
  • Rabies is a deadly viral disease caused by the rabies virus and can be transmitted to humans. The disease spreads through animal bites, and the infection affects the brain, causing neurological symptoms and ultimately death. Due to its dangerous and zoonotic nature, rabies is one of the mandatory vaccinations in many countries. Specialists at the Begemotas veterinary clinic remind that, according to Lithuanian law, rabies vaccinations are mandatory for dogs.

  • Canine distemper is a highly contagious viral disease that affects the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems of dogs. Symptoms can vary, ranging from fever and coughing to serious neurological problems. Canine distemper is often fatal, especially in young and unvaccinated dogs.

  • Parvovirus is a highly contagious disease that mainly affects the dog’s intestines, causing severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. The disease is particularly dangerous for young puppies and can be fatal if not treated in time.

  • Canine hepatitis – the disease affects the liver, kidneys, eyes, and blood vessels. It is caused by canine adenovirus. The symptoms of hepatitis can vary greatly, from mild fever to severe liver disease, which can be fatal.

  • Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection caused by Leptospira bacteria. The disease can affect a dog’s kidneys, liver, and other organs. It is a zoonosis, which means it can be transmitted to humans, so vaccinating dogs against this disease is also important for public health.

  • Parainfluenza is a viral disease that causes viral tracheobronchitis, also known as respiratory viral infection, which is highly contagious among unvaccinated dogs. Although this disease is not usually fatal, it can cause serious health problems, especially in puppies and older dogs.

Cost of vaccination

The cost of vaccination at the vet may depend on several factors:

01.Vaccine type

The price varies depending on the type of vaccine. Some vaccines are combination vaccines, i.e., they protect against several diseases at once, and their price may be higher.

02.Manufacturer and vaccine quality

Vaccine prices may also vary depending on the manufacturer and the quality of the ingredients used. High-quality or newer-generation vaccines may be more expensive.

03.Additional services

During vaccination, the veterinarian may examine the animal or provide advice on its health, nutrition, or care, which may be subject to additional fees. Fees may also apply for administrative costs, such as vaccination certificates or entries in the pet's EU passport for travel.
