Amber doesn't feel well
 

Amber went to the vet yesterday for her rabies and distemper shots.
This morning she didn't want her breakfast and she is sleeping all day.
I assume this is not unusual so I'm not too concerned. Any comments?

I think after the shots it is not that unusual for the body to adjust to
them. Is Amber at least drinking water and using the litterbox? If she
hasn't eaten since yesterday try feeding her a little canned with tuna.

It is not at all unusual. Cheeks is grumpy and whiny and has
a warm nose for three days after her shots, esp. if one is
rabies and she gets more than one. Makes me feel terrible.

Purrs that Amber is up and purring like her old self soon. Its
unfortunate that the things we have to do to keep them well sometimes
make them feel bad too. its a no win situation.
Sasha, Pheniox and Isabella sending purrs and nose rubs to.

Not unusual, but if she isn't perkier by tomorrow, have her looked at. One
time Sugar really didn't rebound from her annuals and they had to hydrate
her for a little fever. It did the trick. You could also try the broth from
that canned swanson's chicken. Mine will drink that even when they are
pretty sick, so it might help. But she may very well be down today.

Some get a fever from the distemper pack -- our kittens all were sick
for a day. They felt much better the next, though.

Next time, which should be no sooner than three years, space the
vaccines out. You could do rabies, then wait six months and do the
distemper. Vaccinating a cat with multiple vaccines puts a real burden
on a cat and can make them very ill.

Why are you vaccinating annually (and unnecessarily)? Annual vaccines
are overkill and the vaccine protocols have been different for awhile
now.

I call it annuals but it's really more like 3 years and she hasn't had any
since the last time when she got ill. She is due for a rabies (several
months now) but that may be the only shot I get her (by law, have to have
it, though they have not hunted me down or anything.) Unfortunately, it was
most likely the rabies she reacted to. Yikes. It was just a turn of phrase.
Sorry.

I have to agree. I will never get Cheeks all of her
shots in one day again. Her recovery period is long,
and then there is just having her endure the shots
themselves. She does not make a sound by writhes
and shakes. It's terrible.
