Bassett and Nutmeg get their shots today!

[Nomilynn]

Yup, it's time for a trip to the vet. Everyone is doing great, though, so at least I will have some good news to tell them when we get there :) Bassett and Nutmeg are due for their annual shots and their three yr rabies, so I should have some pretty dopey kitties when we get home! I am slightly concerned, because Bassett has had a bad vaccination reaction before, but my vet knows and will give her something to counteract that, but.. I'm a mom what can I say :p

So, hopefully my car will start this morning (I need a new alternator.. that's scheduled for this afternoon) and everything will go very smoothly! :)

Keeping fingers and paws crossed that all goes well with Bassett and Nutmeg.

Hope your car starts also and that everything and everyone is well.

And, the update is......:confused:

[Nomilynn]

Everything went great! The vet said "Bassett sure is doing remarkably well" :D Bassett got a couple antinflammatory shots ahead of time, and has had no reaction whatsoever; in fact, both Bassett and Nutmeg have acted totally normal today and if I hadn't taken them myself I never would have known they had shots this morning! :) So all is well!

Oh - and my car started every time I needed it to, and it's fixed now ;)

I love good reports, especially where Bassett is concerned!!! :) So glad things went well, Naomi!!! :)

I'm so glad to hear that everything went well. :)

in the past couple hours, Bassett has been breathing pretty heavy :( I think she's just tired, but it's worrying me :( Please pray it's nothing serious (which I'm sure it isn't, but I'm still scared for her).

[Kater]

Hopefully Bassett is just having a tiny reaction to her shots. Prayers that she feels peachy keen by morning! :D
(((HUGS)))

What great news!! I just had the alternator replaced in my car last month. Please give nosie kisses to them all.

Bassett seems to be doing much better. Now it's Nutmeg I'm worried about.. she has a pretty big lump where the rabies shot went in and she's in obvious pain. She even refused food this morning :(

Bassett is still breathing heavier than normal but it's calmed down some. I'm hoping that it's just a reaction to the rabies shot, which seems to take longer for the system to get used to than the others.

Right now I have Nutmeg all covered up with a blanky on her favourite rocking chair. I have to go to work so Nathan will be coming over this afternoon (ALL the way from Vancouver.. he's really the best BF EVER) to take care of them while I'm at work. I was sick last night thinking about leaving them here today all alone.. but now I don't have to worry :)

I'll keep you updated,
Naomi

Hope everything goes well while your at work Naomi. And yep, your right...you do have the best BF ever:D
Let us know how everything is when you can.

[Felicia's Mom]

I hope that Bassett and Nutmeg are feeling better.

[Steffi N]

I also hope Nutmeg and Bassett are feeling better. Tell Nathan he is a sweetheart.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Naomi, I sure hope that Bassett and Nutmeg feel better soon. All fingers and paws are crossed here. Please keep us updated. You sure have a terrific boyfriend. :)

[Nomilynn]

Things seem much better now. Nutmeg greeted me at the door, and is even carrying around a mousie. Bassett's breathing is much calmer. I'm pretty sure it was a reaction to the shots now, but I really did overreact before. I just want my babies to be ok!

Thanks everyone for your prayers :)

[Kater]

WONDERFUL! Glad they are both feeling better now. :)

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad to hear that they're back to normal now. :D

[HayleyRosie]

I'm so glad to hear that Bassett and Nutmeg are doing well. Please give them some scritchies from me.

[Randi]

Naomi, I'm glad to hear that Bassett and Nutmeg are both more or less back to normal. :) No wonder, you worry after what you've been through! :eek:

Is it only the rabies shots which they react to? The vaccinations Fister has had, there has been no reaction at all. :)

I'm glad to hear that both cats are better now!
Is that shot agaist "rabies" compulsary in the USA? Here, it is rarely given, so I wonder why there is this difference :confused:
