Breeding knowledge of Chartres cats

One of the daily feeding routines for Chartres cats, deworming, must be essential. Some cats have never been vaccinated their entire lives, but they are still very healthy and resistant to the virus. First of all, this Chartres cat must be a big cat over a year old! Definitely not a kitten less than one to four months old. Because the virus is unimaginably deadly to kittens that have not been vaccinated for four months! And big cats will gradually adapt to the environment and produce antibodies during the growth process, which is also related to human immunity. Same reason. It's like the same disease, like a viral cold, that adults may be able to fight off for a few days, but it's even more dangerous for a child who is a few months old!

Breeding care of Chartres cat

1. Antibodies in newborn Chartres cats are obtained from female cats. At birth, mother cats give them enough antibodies to grow healthy, just as human colostrum contains many of the antibodies necessary for newborns. However, because their exposure to the environment is still very short, and their body functions cannot produce antibodies on their own, these antibodies will gradually subside after two months of weaning, so they should be immunized in time around 10 weeks to help them resist viral diseases. It's like a baby's immunity starts a few months after birth. Because antibodies gradually decline after weaning, and the dangers of disease exist almost anywhere you can't imagine. For example, simple enteritis, if not treated in time, the invasion of various pathogens may become viral infectious enteritis, which is very dangerous. This is like if a child's cold is not treated in time, it is likely to turn into pneumonia, and the consequences are very dangerous. Therefore, it is very important to vaccinate Chartres cats in time around 10 weeks!

2. The charter cat does not exert immunity after the first vaccination. His role is simply to generate a signal in the Chartreuse cat that allows the Chartreuse's own immune system to recognize and recognize the virus. The second shot of the vaccine really established an immune protection system against viral diseases and helped the Chartres cat resist the damage of the virus! And the antibodies are not immediately available, but after the second shot of the vaccine 7 days to 10 days to start building immunity!

That's why it's necessary to get vaccinated twice! Some countries are vaccinated three times. The reason is the same, but it is more secure. Chartreuse cats after one year of age only need to be vaccinated once a year.
