University of Colorado Vet College Study: Possible Link of Cat Vaccines to Feline Kidney Disease

The University of Colorado is doing a study of the possible link of the FVRCP vaccine to lesions on the kidneys that cause renal disease. A previous report done in 2006 at the vet school showed that when cat's were vaccinated repeatedly in the usual way which is subcutaneously (or right under the skin), lesions formed on their kidneys. Interestingly enough when the vaccine was given intra nasally (or in the nose) no lesions formed.

Now the university is doing a study of cats nationwide. What they need are blood and urine samples of cats who have been vaccinated at least five times. In return the participants will receive a free blood panel for their cat. Any veterinarian can collect the samples and mail them to the veterinary college.

It's All About The Food

A good diet is the easist way to ensure the health of your pet. Always select a pet food that is free of by products and gluttens. There should be healthy and pure protein ingredients and carbohydrate sources. For example look for the top ingredient to be "chicken" or "beef" etc. Good carb sources include rice, oats, barley. Corn is a cheap ingredient that is very hard for many animals to digest and yet it is a staple in many pet foods. Avoid foods that have the top ingreiendts of corn, and corn or wheat glutten. These are fillers and have little nutritional value.

Did you Know?

Neutering is the most important thing you can do to avoid behavior problems in your male dogs and cats. The drive to mate will severly alter the behavior of your pet and cause it to get out, roam, fight, and mark territory. Not a good thing when it means peeing in your house and fighting and developing abscesses and vet bills.
