[Animals] Vaccines in pets: what side effects can they cause?

[[M]anuel]

 

Side effects may vary depending on the type of vaccine, the health of the animal, and other factors.

 

When inoculating pets with the biologicals indicated by veterinarians, it is normal for animals to experience side effects.

As in humans, adverse reactions to certain vaccines can result in pain or discomfort that is temporary in most cases.

In dogs and cats, vaccines are essential to guarantee their well-being and that of their environment. However, it is important to know what side effects you may experience after applying some of them.

 

The objective of vaccines for canines and felines is to activate the animal's defenses against a certain disease.

This involves inoculating the animal's body with a carefully attenuated disease, so that its immune system detects this foreign element and promotes the activation of the body's natural defenses.

"It is important to take into account that the defenses generated in the body will not be of indefinite duration and therefore it is necessary to revaccinate that pet periodically so that its body produces such antibodies again," Grupo LoVet describes on its website.

But this practice with animals has become much more common since they become part of the home. Although initially it was done to prevent diseases from decimating the livestock and sheds.

In 1880, Pasteur managed to isolate Pasteurella multocida, the microorganism responsible for fowl cholera or avian pasteurellosis, and then reduce the virulence of the pathogen and inoculate healthy birds, achieving excellent results.

Later, using this same principle, he created the first vaccine against rabies, which was a highly fatal disease at that time and which is still part of the scheme.
