Why Is My Dog’s Coat Turning Yellow?

Deworm First or Vaccine First? Get the Order Right
For a new cat, deworm first, then vaccinate. Parasites keep the immune system stressed so a shot can't build proper antibodies — risking vaccine failure or a severe reaction. Plan: settle in a week, deworm at 45+ days, then FVRCP shots 3 weeks apart plus rabies a week later. Indoor cats still need regular deworming, and FVRCP doesn't cover every disease.
