Sick because of annual shots??

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Yesterday my Zazou and Snoopy went to the vet for their annual shots. They both got a clean bill of health.
This morning Zazou is acting really weird. She cries when I pick her up, she is in her bed all the time, no eating and no drinking, she is so lethargic...
I phoned my vet and asked his advize. He said to keep a close eye on her and wait 24 hours. If she is still acting this way, then he wants to see her

None of my cats ever reacted this way on their shots, so I am very worried. Please tell me that this is not abnormal????

Poor Zazou! Give her a cuddle from me.

Neither Cally or Brody reacted to any of their shots - I hope she improves during the day. If she is no better this afternoon I'd take her back to the vet so he can check her over

Lut...I always get scared when I hear about reactions like this after shots. If you remember we all thought the same thing about Lilith. It was the shots. But as you know it wasn't.

I hope and pray to God that is all it is.

Has she been tested for felv and fiv?

I don't want to scare you. But with what happened to Lilith it is usually my first thought when seeing this kind of thing.

Poor Zazou. Give her a big hug and kiss from me. My Belle did that before, scared me too but ended up being fine in a day or two. I don't remember what shots she got at that time, but she reacted pretty much the same. I will have little Zazou in my prayers for a quick recovery. ((((hugs))))

Every year I go through this with Vita. She does NOT like going to the vet, she does NOT like the carrier, she does NOT like being in the car, she does NOT approve of whatever shots she has to get . . . the list goes on and on. She gets so nerved up. Then we come home and she is out of sorts, won't eat, mostly sleeps for 2 or 3 days. It's how she reacts to the whole thing. But every time, I worry. My other cats have varying degrees of irritability with Crystal having NO effects what so ever. Nothing ever seems to phase Crystal.

It is 3.30pm now, and 30 minutes ago, Zazou climbed out of her bed, stretched carefully, and walked to the kitchen. I followed her to see where she was heading for.... . It was to her foodbowl!! She ate half of the tuna I put in there, and then returned to the safety of her cosy bed . I think she is on the mend, because she did a short kitty-wash before she departed for "dreamland"

We've had reactions are our house. I asked our new vet about reactions to shots. What he does when annual shots are administered. He does give a steriod shot plus sends you home with baby bendryl (spell?). This helps/prevents reactions.
2 of my gang throws up.
Also bendryl, helps settle them down from the experience of being at the vets. Allot of times it's the stress of being there etc that brings on reactions.
Something I didnt know.
