Feline Rhinotracheitis and Calici Infection

Y

Sir:-.A client who uses two practices for her veterinary service ran into problems with ‘snuffles’. The owner had a further 18 kittens born to queens of unknown vaccination status (this was in January 1982). At this time it was decided to try to protect these young kittens, so a vaccination programme was started. Twelve kittens were started by Practice One and then Practice Two was asked to do the other kittens. The reasoning for this was that Practice One used intramuscular vaccine only, whereas Practice Two used live nasal, and had done so successfully in another cattery. It was agreed that a comparison of success might be demonstrated.
