Hello! It's great that you're being proactive about your kitten's health. The FVRCP vaccine is crucial for protecting your little one against three common viruses: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia. Generally, the initial vaccination series for kittens starts at about 6-8 weeks old and is repeated every 3-4 weeks until they are around 16-20 weeks old. So, giving the vaccine 6 weeks apart is a bit longer than usual.
There are a couple of reasons this could happen. Sometimes, scheduling conflicts or kitten's health issues can lead to longer intervals. It's important, though, to try to get back on track as soon as possible to ensure the best protection.
In terms of at-home care, keep your kitten indoors to minimize disease exposure, ensure a healthy diet, and monitor them for signs of illness. Watch for symptoms like sneezing, coughing, runny eyes, or lethargy, as these could indicate a problem.
If you see any of these signs or have further concerns about the vaccine schedule, I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can take a closer look at your kitten's health history and vaccination records to provide personalized advice for her needs.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
