Archer Lethargic, Not Eating
I know it's probably just a reaction to getting his vaccinations last night,
but I've never had a kitten *this* affected by it. Last night after getting home from the vet, both Ozzie and Archer went under the couch in DH's office and had (apparently) not moved as of 5:30AM this morning. When I fed them, I had to pull both boys out from under the couch (usually they're climbing up my legs trying to get at the food before I can set it down). Ozzie wasn't much interested in eating as much as he normally does, but he did eat some and used the litterbox. Archer, however, didn't want anything to do with his food, seemed a bit weak and shaky, and felt warm to me. We syringed him some water (two small syringes full) and food, but after about 1.4 of the large syringe of food he started gagging like he was going to throw up so we stopped. If he hasn't improved by noon today, he goes straight away back to the vet, but I was wondering if anyone has had a kitten react this strongly to vaccinations? -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters he http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

One of my cats had reactions to vaccines sometimes and we handled it by
getting each shot on a separate day. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

Thanks, good idea - but I doubt they'll ever get another vaccination (since my cats are all indoor only, I don't want to risk immunization side-effects to prevent diseases they have no chance of contracting).

Archer Lethargic, Not Eating - UPDATE
I just talked to Ben. He said when he got home both boys were still asleep
under the couch in his office (now known as the isolation chamber with the screen on the door ;). He pulled them out and gave them some food - and both boys scarfed it down like the little piglets they are. Tayla came over when Archer was finished eating and gave him a good wash. When she was done she walked over to Ozzy, who was still eating, and started to give him a wash. However, Ozzy didn't want to be washed so he looked up into her face and hissed at her!!! She sat back and bopped him on top of his head three times until he laid down, properly chastised, and then gave him his good wash. After she was done he jumped up, licked both his and Archer's plate clean, and then walked over and started eating Tayla's dry food. Tayla looked up at Ben with a "What are you gonna do?" look and then jumped up to his desk to take her nap. Hugs, CatNipped "CatNipped" wrote in message ...
