Third eye lid visible - lots of sneezing

Had kitty to vet last week for leukemia test and was negative. Got first
part of leukemia shot. He's been sneezing and his third eyelid is visible.
I never noticed that in the 8 years I've had him. His eyes don't look
healthy. He had diarrhea as did my other two kitties. I gave him deworming
pills. Any idea what it might be? He goes back to vet next week. I hate
to have part two of leukemia shot given when he's under the weather and yet
I hate to wait too long.

I know that shots make my girls feel under the weather for a few days, but
it's usually just warm noses and laying around EVEN more than usual, and
not eating much. Wonder if he picked up a UTI at the vet? If I were you I
might call the vet and describe the symptoms. You are giving them enough
business, they can advise you between visits. My vet has me give
Chlortrimton
for congestion and sneezing. 2 mgs every 12 hours. (Of course don't do this
without asking your vet.) Good luck.

I think I will switch vets. This one is a nightmare....she's sooooooo rude.
I only started going there cuz she's close to home. It's so unfortunate
when people are 'unapproachable' , especially someone who is in business and
should be professional.

Sounds like a good idea. I just switched both vets and doctors, and I am
really happy. If they (the doctors or their staff) make you feel
uncomfortable
in ANY way, I think it's time to shop around. Why not pay the same money
to someone who makes you feel good about your cat's care and your own?

In the meantime, I would call the vet who gave the shot and tell her
about the symptoms and see what she says. I wouldn't wait to treat
these symptoms.
