Our 3 year old has had his triple vaccination this morning for
leukaemia,
entiritis and flu - and after being fine on returning home is now
lethargic,
off his food and showing signs of annoyance when we stroke him, which
is
very unlike him as he has a sweet nature.

Is this common or should we be worried? Any action we should take?
He is
lying on the bed at the moment.


What Sherry said, and in the future, know that three shots are a lot for
one little kitty. I was worried sick one time after I allowed the vet to
give Cheeks her Depo Medrol shot plus two others. She was puny
for days, just sleeping, eating little, grumping at me if I petted her,
and having a warm nose.

I let the vet give Biskit the entire vax series at once, at the same
time she was spayed. It was too much for her. I had reservations about
it at the time, but the vet didn't so I caved and let him do it. She
was also sick for days. I kicked myself all over for not being
assertive and saying NO, I'll bring her back for the vaccs, and we'll
space them 3 weeks apart. Next time I will.


I think you were the one who told me you thought Cheeky was feeling
bad because of too many shots at once. It is a shame we have to
watch our vets like this.
