Leucofeligen FeLV/RCP is a vaccine for cats. It is available as two vials, one containing a white powder pellet and one containing a liquid. The powder contains live attenuated (weakened) feline viruses: feline calicivirus (strain F9),viral rhinotracheitis virus (strain F2) and feline panleucopenia virus (strain LR 72). The liquid contains a protein of feline leukaemia virus (FeLV). The contents of the two vials are mixed together before use to make up a suspension for injection.
What is Leucofeligen FeLV/RCP used for?
Leucofeligen FeLV/RCP is used to vaccinate cats from eight weeks of age against the following diseases:
feline calicivirosis (a flu-like illness with inflammation of the mouth caused by a calicivirus);
feline viral rhinotracheitis (a flu-like illness caused by a herpesvirus);
feline panleucopenia (a serious illness causing bloody diarrhoea caused by a parvovirus);
feline leukaemia (an illness affecting the immune system caused by a retrovirus).
The vaccine helps to reduce the signs of these diseases. It can also help to reduce excretion of feline viral rhinotracheitis viruses, to prevent a fall in white blood cell counts in feline panleucopenia and to prevent FeLV remaining in the blood.
Leucofeligen FeLV/RCP is given to kittens as two injections under the skin. The first injection is given when the kitten is about eight weeks old, and the second three/four weeks later.
Afterwards, cats need a booster injection every year.
