Since I just went through this, I guess the best advice would be
to find a good veterinarian from friends or others in this notesfile.
When I brought my kitten in, I told them to do whatever needed to
be done. This included a general checkup, vaccines, worming medicine
(bring in a stool sample for them to examine), flea bath (if needed),
and vitamins (if needed). A trustworthy vet will do all the kittens
need without having to worry that he/she is taking advantage of
you.

| 2028.2 | Let's see...three shots for 4 kittens at n$$$... | CLUSTA::TAMIR | ACMS design while-u-wait | Mon Dec 05 1988 11:43 | 19 |
| Kittens need a series of three shots. The first is usually done
at 6-8 weeks, the second and third are at 1 month intervals from
the first. At 6 weeks, mine didn't have stools to look at, so those
came during the second visit. Roundworms were detected and they
all got medicated (easy and very cheap). The babies loose the immunity
the Mom gives them around 6-8 weeks, so it's important to get them
the shots immediately. That guy was a jerk for lying to you, but
at least he had the guts to fess up!
My vet has given me health records for my kittens indicating what
they received and when. These went along with the kittens to their
new homes (two down, two to go!).
Don't forget the stool specimen...it's a safe bet they've got
something! My vet said that 80% of non-cattery raised kittens have
some form of worms (ughhhhh).

| 2028.3 | 4-way shots | FSHQA2::RWAXMAN | A Cat Makes a Purrfect Friend | Mon Dec 05 1988 12:58 | 8 |
| Regarding shots: My new kittens received a series of (2) 4-way
shots. A lot of vets are vaccinating for chlymadia now, in addition
to distemper, rhinotrachetis, and calicivirus. I believe the breeder
gave the shots at 8 and 12 weeks. I think chlymadia is another
form of upper respiratory.

| 2028.4 | more on chlamydia | YOSMTE::CORDESBRO_JO | | Thu Dec 08 1988 19:46 | 6 |
| Chlamydia is an eye problem. Anyone that wants more info on it
can send me mail. I have had much experience with this one.
It is also called Pneumonitis.
