Anyone have an experience with kitties having bad reactions to their innoculations? Halo (gray kitty on the right) and Cammie (tortie on the left) both got their distemper and rabies shots on September 27th. Cammie is fine. Halo was fine for a week and then threw up on October 5th. She just didn't act like she felt well. She isn't even 2 years old (even though she's 10 pounds) but she didn't want to eat or play. So I took her to the vet on Monday and she had a 105 degree temp. She was well hydrated even though she hadn't eaten or had water in 2 days. They gave her a shot (I don't remember the name) to bring down her fever and hosed her down with water. Her fever came down to 103 and kept dropping so she came home. Tuesday morning she was sick again. Her temp was back up to 105. The vet did bloodwork and found no infection. Gave her another shot to bring down her temp and then time gave her some fluids under the skin. They kept her all day and Halo came home last night and ate a little and slept the night away. She didn't move, she didn't do anything. Halo is the kind of kitten that gets up 10 times a night to check things out.
The vet gave us antibiotics to give to her twice a day even though they cannot find an infection. They said that she had a reaction to the shots and from now on they will space out her shots a week apart.
Halo still isn't back to herself but she doesn't appear to have a fever. Anyone have an experience with this kind of thing?
