What Nobivac® Feline-Bb Is and How It Works

Nobivac® Feline-Bb is a live, avirulent Bordetella bronchiseptica vaccine for cats. It is given as nasal drops (intranasal), not by injection. The vaccine helps stimulate local mucosal immunity in the upper airways, where Bordetella first attaches. Intranasal delivery exposes nasal tissues directly, which supports a fast, targeted immune response. This product is commonly used for cats in multi-cat homes, shelters, boarding, grooming, and show settings, and for cats that frequently visit veterinary facilities.

CanadianInsulin connects US clinics with Canadian pricing and ships to the US with US delivery from Canada. Many practices choose this route to manage Nobivac Feline-Bb cost and maintain steady inventory.

Who Nobivac® Feline-Bb Is For

This vaccine is intended for healthy cats at risk of exposure to Bordetella bronchiseptica. Kittens in group environments, adult cats in boarding or shelters, and cats with frequent social contact are typical candidates. Vaccinating cats in close quarters can help reduce the spread and severity of coughing, sneezing, and nasal discharge associated with this pathogen.

Cats that are ill, febrile, or stressed should typically wait until recovered. Use caution in pregnant or lactating queens. Immunocompromised cats may not respond as expected and require individualized veterinary guidance. Always follow your clinic’s protocols and the official product label.

Dosage and Usage

Nobivac Feline-Bb is administered intranasally as a single labeled dose. Do not inject this vaccine. Reconstitute the freeze-dried vaccine with the supplied diluent per label directions, and use the nasal applicator recommended by the manufacturer. Primary immunization commonly consists of one intranasal dose. Revaccination schedules vary by risk; many clinics consider annual revaccination for cats with ongoing exposure risk. Follow the label and your clinic’s standard operating procedures.

Only trained veterinary professionals should prepare and administer Nobivac Feline-Bb intranasally. Discard any unused reconstituted vaccine as instructed on the label.

Strengths and Forms

• Intranasal vaccine supplied as a lyophilized cake with sterile diluent
• Common package sizes: single-dose vial and 10-dose vials (clinic multi-dose)
• Supplied with appropriate nasal administration components per package

Availability of single dose and multi-dose presentations can vary. Check current listings for Nobivac Feline-Bb single dose and Nobivac Feline-Bb multi-dose options when you order.

Missed Dose and Timing

If a scheduled revaccination is missed, consult your veterinarian and follow clinic protocols. Resume the series or booster timing as advised by the label and your clinician. Do not administer extra doses without guidance. Keep vaccination records current to support consistent protection in high-risk environments.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store unopened vials refrigerated at 2°C to 7°C (36°F to 45°F). Protect from light. Do not freeze. After reconstitution, use within the time stated on the label and discard any remainder. When transporting between facilities, keep the vaccine in a refrigerated container with temperature control. Maintain the cold chain from receipt to administration. CanadianInsulin offers prompt, express, cold-chain shipping so your order arrives in proper condition.

Benefits

• Helps protect cats against Bordetella bronchiseptica respiratory disease
• Intranasal route targets local nasal immunity and avoids injections
• Fits pre-boarding and shelter intake protocols for at-risk cats
• Single labeled dose for primary vaccination in many settings
• Available in single-dose and 10-dose vials to meet clinic needs

These benefits align with typical label use in veterinary practice. Your clinician may tailor schedules based on local risk and cat population needs.

Side Effects and Safety

• Temporary sneezing or nasal discharge
• Mild cough or throat irritation
• Low-grade fever, lethargy, or reduced appetite for a short period
• Transient eye irritation or conjunctivitis

Serious reactions are uncommon but can include allergic responses such as facial swelling, hives, or respiratory distress. Anaphylaxis requires immediate care. Use caution in cats with a history of vaccine reactions. Report any unexpected signs to your clinician and document the lot number in the medical record.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Antibiotics may interfere with live vaccine response if given at the time of vaccination. Your veterinarian may advise separating antimicrobial therapy from vaccination. For background reading on commonly used options, see the editorial guides on Doxycycline For Dogs And Cats, Azithromycin For Pets, and Baytril Injection For Cats.

Immunosuppressive therapies can blunt vaccine response. Discuss timing if a cat receives corticosteroids or cyclosporine products such as Atopica® For Cats. Use standard aseptic technique. Do not mix Nobivac Feline-Bb with other vaccines or disinfectants unless directed by the label.

What to Expect Over Time

After intranasal administration, cats may sneeze briefly as the vaccine contacts nasal tissues. Mild nasal discharge can occur for a short time. The goal is to help reduce the likelihood and severity of Bordetella-associated signs in at-risk cats. Vaccination does not eliminate all respiratory disease, since multiple pathogens circulate in feline communities. Your clinician may pair a respiratory vaccination program with hygiene, isolation, and stress reduction to limit transmission.

If herpesvirus is also a concern in your population, supportive measures may be considered. Some clinics use nutritional support during flare-ups, such as Nutri Lys® Lysine Supplement Gel, alongside standard care. Your veterinary team will set expectations and monitoring steps based on your facility and case mix.

Compare With Alternatives

For broader feline respiratory coverage, clinics often combine Bordetella protection with core viral vaccines. One option is Nobivac® Feline 3 HCP, which addresses feline herpesvirus and calicivirus as part of core immunization. For managing herpesvirus outbreaks in individual cats, some clinicians use antivirals like Famciclovir under prescription guidance. These products target different pathogens and are used for complementary goals in respiratory health programs.

To maximize value, consider whether single dose or 10 dose vials better match your expected usage. Ordering alongside other needed items may reduce reordering frequency.

Availability and Substitutions

Supply can vary by season and demand. If Nobivac Feline-Bb is temporarily unavailable, your prescriber may suggest an alternative plan and timing based on exposure risk. We cannot guarantee restock dates. Your clinician will determine a suitable substitution if one is appropriate.

Patient Suitability and Cost Saving Tips

• Healthy cats in group settings are typical candidates
• Defer vaccination in obviously ill or febrile cats
• Use caution in pregnant or immunocompromised cats
• Match single-dose or multi-dose packs to population size
• Schedule revaccination windows across your calendar to avoid lapses
• Batch appointments to use each multi-dose vial efficiently in clinic

Set internal reminders for intake, pre-boarding, and annual wellness to keep vaccine timing consistent. Building orders in advance helps prevent gaps in coverage during busy periods.
