| Bordatella | kennel cough- contagious respiratory disease |
| Lyme | bacteria infection that is transmitted through tick bites - can affect joints, heart, nervous system |
| Bivalent Influenza | H3N8 - from horses leads to respiratory problems + H3N2 - avian influenza |

| FIV | Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a retrovirus specific to cats, similar to HIV in humans, that attacks and weakens the immune system over time-leads to infections and chronic diseases |
| 2DX test | FIV/FeLV- detects antibodies and antigens to assess a cats infection status |
| VX timeline for felines | 6-8 weeks: FVRCP/fecal/deworm/FIV+FLV test/HWP+FTP 10-12 weeks:FVRCP/deworm/HWP+FTP 14-16 weeks: FVRCP/Leuk/HWP+FTP 16-20 weeks: FVRCP/RV/Leuk/HWP+FTP Annual: FVRCP/RV/+-Leuk/fecal/+-deworm/HWP+FTP NEuter/Spay: 4-6months (16-24 weeks) |
