How do vaccinations work to protect my pet?
Vaccines for pets work like vaccines for humans. A vaccination against a certain virus is actually a small, slightly altered dose of the virus itself. Your pet's body reacts to the vaccination by building up antibodies. These antibodies circulate in the bloodstream and protect your pet against a real infection. These antibodies weaken and die after time. Therefore, an annual revaccination, or "booster" shot, is necessary every year to continue the protection. With these injections, your veterinarian can help you and your pet avoid the pain, anxiety, and cost of many serious infections. And for some diseases, there is no treatment -- only the prevention offered by vaccinations. Vaccinations are a necessary, inexpensive insurance. Even pets who live indoors can be exposed to infectious diseases and should be vaccinated regularly.
Why it's important to spay/neuter your pet?
Surgical sterilization is surgery requiring anesthesia. Older pets may react negatively to anesthesia, which would be the main reason to use caution when spaying an older pet, although the benefits of spaying and neutering, in general, far outweigh the negatives. If the optimal "window" for altering the pet is missed, the surgery can still have beneficial effects up to a certain amount of years. Dogs and cats do not experience "menopause" like humans and can reproduce throughout their life span. However, they do become less fertile as they age. Often, by this time, unspayed females will have experienced complications due to the fact that they are unspayed. Depending on the animal's age, it still may be beneficial to have it spayed in the later years. Discuss your concerns or questions with your vet.
