Globfel-4: prevention of dangerous pet diseases

Indications for use of serum

Globfel 4 for cats is a globulin that provides rapid immune protection. Sometimes this drug is mistakenly called Globorel for cats.

Globfel prevents the occurrence of 4 dangerous diseases.

Panleukopenia (distemper)

One of the most dangerous viral infections in cats. The causative agent is the Feline Panleukopenia virus from the genus Parvovirus. Deadly for small kittens, elderly and weakened cats. About 80% of those infected die.

Globfel 4 - globulin against panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and chlamydia in cats

Panleukopenia affects the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, respiratory, nervous and cardiovascular systems. Symptoms: vomiting and diarrhea with blood and mucus, high temperature, fever, weakness, lethargy, lack of coordination, bluish discoloration of mucous membranes, tachycardia, frequent shallow breathing, convulsions.

A cat can become infected through contact with sick relatives, with carriers of the infection, through objects touched by a sick cat, or even through the bite of a flea that drank the blood of an infected animal.

Calcivirus

A viral infection that affects the respiratory and nervous systems of a cat. The causative agent is the Feline Calicivirus virus. Main symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, fever, runny nose, discharge from the eyes, mouth ulcers, diarrhea, apathy.

Important! In severe cases, pneumonia occurs, followed by pulmonary edema and death.

Rhinotracheitis

A viral infection that affects the vision and respiratory system. The causative agent is the Feline Alphaherpesvirus virus from the genus of herpes viruses.

Symptoms: purulent discharge from the eyes, high fever, runny nose, vomiting, swelling of the pharynx and larynx, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Rhinotracheitis often leads to blindness: pus affects the eyeball, then one or both eyes have to be completely removed surgically. Other dangerous complications are bronchitis and pneumonia.

Chlamydia

A bacterial infection that causes a cat to cough, runny nose, refuse to eat, purulent conjunctivitis, and pulmonary edema. The causative agent of the disease is bacteria of the genus Chlamydia.

Globfel 4 helps the body develop passive immunity against these 4 diseases. Immunity lasts for 2 weeks. Then the cats need to be vaccinated, which will create active immunity.

How it works

Immunizing serum contains antigens against viruses produced by other organisms. The cat receives someone else's ready-made immunity. This gives her temporary protection. In turn, the vaccine makes the immune system work, so the cat’s body itself produces antibodies against viruses. In addition, only healthy animals need to be vaccinated, and the serum can be administered to sick and weakened animals. This is how Globfel serum differs from the vaccine.

Globfel 4 is used for the prevention and treatment of these diseases. This drug gives maximum effect in the incubation and prodromal periods of the disease: when infection occurs or the first symptoms of illness appear. Globfel 4 cannot be used in the terminal stages of diseases.

This drug can be administered to cats that have been in contact with sick relatives. If a person picks up a cat on the street that is visually healthy, then first it is tested for viruses and immediately injected with Globfel 4 serum to create temporary immunity during the quarantine period.

When Globfel is used in the initial stages of diseases, their symptoms do not worsen and the animal’s condition does not worsen.

It is not at all difficult to administer globulin for cats to your pets: the instructions will tell you what dose and how to inject.

Additional Information! Globfel 4 is useful not only for domestic cats, but also for all other representatives of the cat family.

Selection of dosage and treatment regimen

Milbemax for cats: instructions for use

10–15 minutes before using Globfel, 4 cats must be given an antihistamine. This is necessary in order to prevent allergic reactions.

Globfel 4 injections are administered subcutaneously. For cats weighing up to 10 kg, a dose of 1 ml is prescribed. The dose for cats weighing more than 10 kg is 2 ml. The injection is given at the withers, and in exceptional cases, at the crease of the knee.

To prevent disease, the serum is administered once. To treat diseases in the initial stages, cats are given 2–4 injections at intervals of 12–24 hours. The number of injections and intervals depend on the severity of the cat's condition. Violation of the treatment regimen can negatively affect the pet’s well-being. The sooner the serum is administered to the cat, the faster it will recover. Globfel 4 is suitable for complex therapy together with antibiotics, probiotics, vitamins and other medications.

The injection is made into the withers subcutaneously

Instructions for use of the drug in veterinary medicine

If a pet weighs up to 10 kg, then the immunomodulator is prescribed in a single dose of 1 ml; if the cat weighs more than 10 kg, then 2 ml. For prevention, the medicine is administered subcutaneously once a day. After prophylactic administration of the drug, the animal is protected from the onset of the disease for 2 weeks.

As soon as the period of preventive protection ends, it is necessary to vaccinate the cat so that the animal receives active protection against viral diseases. During illness, the administration of the drug varies from 2 to 4 times, as prescribed by the veterinarian. The pause between administration of the medicine is maintained from 12 to 24 hours (at the discretion of the veterinarian).

Contraindications and side effects

With strict adherence to the treatment regimen and hygiene rules, no side effects are observed in cats. But sometimes after using Globfel the temperature rises slightly. The only danger is an allergy to the drug, but its occurrence can be prevented with the help of antihistamines.

Kanikvantel for cats: instructions for use

There are practically no contraindications to the use of Globfel 4 serum. It should not be injected into cats that have previously been allergic to this medicine. For such animals, Globfel must be replaced with another globulin with a similar effect.

The drug Globfel 4 cannot be injected into animals that suffer from other diseases (for example, leukemia, immunodeficiency, mycoplasmosis, hemobartenellosis, etc.). This serum will not help weakened cats suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, helminthic infestations, consequences of injuries and other diseases. Globulin is intended for the prevention of only 4 diseases: panleukopenia, calcivirosis, rhinotracheitis and chlamydia. It will not help at the terminal stage of the disease.

Important! An injection of an antihistamine must be given before administering Globfel 4. An allergy to the serum can lead to a serious deterioration in the cat’s condition, anaphylactic shock and even death.

Analogues of veterinary medicine

If for some reason it is not possible to prescribe Globfel-4 to cats to boost their immunity, veterinarians replace it with a pharmaceutical drug with a similar effect, for example, the equally effective drug Vitafel. It is also sold as a solution that is administered intramuscularly, subcutaneously or intravenously. "Vitafel" is recommended for cats of any age and even weakened, pregnant and lactating kittens. Another analogue of Globfel-4 is “Multifel-4”, which has almost identical indications for use, dosage regimen and contraindications, however, it has more side effects and a different principle of action, since the active component is not globulin fractions of blood, but weakened viral antigens. The use of Multifel-4 by sick or weak pets is strictly prohibited.

Special instructions and precautions

The most important precaution is to pre-administer antihistamines that can prevent allergic reactions.

The veterinarian or pet owner injecting a cat with Globfel must wear rubber gloves and sterile protective clothing (a special gown). If the serum gets on your skin, wash it off immediately with plenty of clean water.

If a cat licks or swallows Globfel 4, you should immediately take it to the veterinarian and begin special treatment.

If sediment occurs, you need to shake the ampoule

Storage conditions

Globfel 4 must be stored in a dry, dark place at a positive temperature of 2–8 °C. The storage location must be inaccessible to children and pets. After the expiration of the shelf life (2 years), the drug cannot be used.

If the drug turns out to be defective, the ampoule must first be boiled for 15 minutes and then thrown into the trash. This is done in several cases:

• A foreign substance was found in the medicine.
• The bottle or substance is moldy.
• The sediment does not break up when shaken.
• The color of the medicine has changed.
• The drug's shelf life has expired.
• There are no labels on the bottle.
• The vial has been frozen (below +2°C) or overheated (above +8°C).
• The seal of the bottle was broken.
• The drug was opened but not used.

Whey should be stored separately from food and feed. The best place to store Globfel 4 would be a closed shelf in a closet or a general first aid kit with other medications. Whey cannot be frozen, so it has no place in the refrigerator.

Before administering Globfel, the cat is injected with an antihistamine.

Advantages and disadvantages

Globfel 4 has a number of advantages over other drugs. An unvaccinated and untested animal from the street cannot be vaccinated, but it can be treated with a serum that will give it immunity. Also, cats should not be vaccinated immediately after contact with infected relatives. They can be given Globfel 4 serum instead.

Advantages of Globfel 4:

• provides reliable protection against diseases;
• effective in treatment;
• valid for 2 weeks;
• provides immunity to cats that, for various reasons, cannot be vaccinated temporarily;
• For prevention, 1 injection is enough.

Flaws:

• prevents only 4 diseases;
• allergies may occur.
