My pet doesn't go outside - why does it need vaccinations?
Thousands of owners think this way and then cry at the veterinarian's table.
The truth is that viruses fly in the air, cling to shoes and clothes. You yourself bring death into the house without even knowing it.
For example, panleukopenia (a highly contagious viral disease of cats, accompanied by fever, damage to the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory organs, heart, general intoxication and dehydration - not dangerous to humans) in cats - distemper - kills 90% of unvaccinated animals.
It does not spare either kittens or adults. The symptoms are similar to poisoning: lethargy, diarrhea. While you are trying to treat your pet with activated carbon, the virus destroys the body.
Dogs, even those that walk on the balcony, risk contracting leptospirosis through contaminated water or food.
Bacteria affect the liver and kidneys, and a person can become infected from a pet. Treatment is long, but the chances of survival are 50/50. The vaccine costs pennies compared to the grief and expenses for therapy.
Another myth is that "injections cause autism in animals." This is a lie invented by anti-vaccinationists.
Pets do not have autism, but there are real stories when, after refusing vaccines, entire litters died from calicivirus. The virus mutates, and even an old vaccine provides immunity to new strains.
Don't believe those who say, "My cat lived 20 years without vaccinations." This is luck, not a rule.
The modern world is oversaturated with threats, and only vaccination gives a chance for protection. Do not play Russian roulette with the life of someone you have tamed.
