CATDOLL : Can I bathe my cat before vaccination?

Not before vaccinating your cat. If you have already bathed your cat, it is recommended to vaccinate your cat five to seven days later. First of all, the reason why cats cannot be bathed before vaccination is because bathing is a stimulus to cats, but some cats will not show clinical symptoms immediately, but will break out after vaccination. Secondly, cats cannot be bathed during vaccination to avoid causing illness.

Things to note when vaccinating your cat:

1. It is not advisable to bathe a cat after it has just been vaccinated. Because cats have relatively weak resistance after vaccination, it is best to bathe them after a week or half a month to prevent them from catching cold or being frightened and becoming sick.

2. After vaccination, make sure to keep your cat warm and do not take it outside for a walk to prevent it from being infected with bacteria and viruses.

3. Pay attention to feeding the cat after vaccination. Generally, cats will have a loss of appetite after vaccination. Do not force the cat to eat during this period. Give the cat time to slowly adjust and recover, and do not feed it too greasy food at this time.
