Adverse reactions A mild and transient increase in body temperature (≤ 1°C) may occur for a few days after vaccination, with some pups showing less activity and/or a reduced appetite. A small transient swelling (≤ 4 cm), which can occasionally be firm and painful on palpation, may be observed at the site of injection. Any such swelling will either have disappeared or be clearly diminished by 14 days post-vaccination. In very rare cases, clinical signs of immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, or immune-mediated polyarthritis have been reported. In very rare cases a transient acute hypersensitivity reaction may occur. Such reactions may evolve to a more severe condition (anaphylaxis), which may be life-threatening. If such reactions occur appropriate treatment is recommended. The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention: - very common (more than 1 in 10 animals displaying adverse reactions during the course of one treatment) - common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals) - uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals) - rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals) - very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals, including isolated reports). Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay Can be used during pregnancy Interactions Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be mixed and administered with vaccines of the Canigen series from the same marketing authorisation holder (or national subsidiary) containing canine distemper virus strain Onderstepoort, canine adenovirus type 2 strain Manhattan LPV3, canine parvovirus strain 154 and/or canine parainfluenza virus strain Cornell components for subcutaneous administration where authorised. The product information of the relevant Canigen vaccines should be consulted before administration of the mixed product. When mixed with these Canigen vaccines, the demonstrated safety and efficacy claims for Canigen L4 are no different from those described for Canigen L4 alone. When mixed with Canigen vaccines containing canine parainfluenza virus strain Cornell at annual revaccination, it has been established that there is no interference with the anamnestic response induced by the injectable canine parainfluenza virus component. Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be administered on the same day but not mixed with vaccines of the Canigen series from the same marketing authorisation holder (or national subsidiary) containing Bordetella bronchiseptica strain B-C2 and/or canine parainfluenza virus strain Cornell components for intranasal administration where authorised. No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medicinal product except the products mentioned above. A decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medicinal product therefore needs to be made on a case by case basis.
