Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2006What is FVRCP/C?
I got notice from the vet it's time for Persia to get her rabies booster (required by law here even though she's an indoor cat), intestinal worm test and something called FVRCP/C. I have no idea what FVRCP/C is but apparently she's gotten it in the past. I called and was told that is the "normal cat vaccination" - does not include Feline FIV which I don't want to give her. So what the heck is a "normal cat vaccination"? Anyone know?

It's the standard combo vaccination - rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia and chlamydia - nothing to be concerned about IMHO. Mine all get something similar as well. Deb.

I'll be boarding her on 5/31 so I'll have them update her shots/tests while I'm gone. She'll already be unhappy about the boarding; might as well wait. By the time I pick her up on 6/6 she'll be so happy to be coming home she'll have forgotten all about this! Jill >Thank you!

Just to let you know, it protects against upper respitory infections (rhino, calici, clymydia) and distemper (panleukopenia); those are the diseases that someone can carry on their clothes or hands (the only diseases that can be transmitted without direct cat-to-cat contact). > Thank you!

She'll already be unhappy about the boarding; One thing to notice is that I believe the combo vaccine lasts 3 years. At least the one our vet uses does. SignatureVictor M.

Rusty's combo vaccine only lasts 1 year. His rabies vaccine now lasts 3 years, used to be only 1 year. Rusty goes in once a year for checkup and vaccination. Other times he needed to see the vet for one thing or another. He already had 3 vet visits this year and it is only May. Need to go back twice more. I guess this is to be expected with an older cat.
