    Could just be a reaction to the shots but watch him close and I would make sure he had something liquid in him until he perks up or you take him back to the vet.

    When I first got Samantha, I took her streight to the vet and got her shots started and I was sure I had killed her in having her get them in the horriable condition she was in when I fianlly got her. She laid in the kennel for 2 days, not moving, groaned when you tried to touch her and felt like she was burning up with fever. I called the vet early on day 2 and they told me to give her the night and if she was no better to bring her back in. Next day, she was up, eating and her old self. She was half starved and eaten up with fleas, skinny as a rail and dehydrated when my neighbor finally agreed to let me have her, a year ago last July. I put off having her spayed until she was a lot stronger. Now she is filled out, fattened up (still not fat), grown a beautiful shinny, silky coat of fur and healthy as any well loved, pampered kitty can be.

    How old are the kittens? It sounds like you should get him to the vet ASAP. Have you noticed any diarrhea or vomitting? Do you have a thermometer at home so you could take his temperature?

    They are 6 weeks...and they all have diarrhea The vet said it was probably from the canned food they were being fed before and we don't have a thermometer They are all extremely thin and were flea infested. We need to go to the vet tomorrow for a problem with our dog and we will take him with us. I've been trying to keep fluids in him, he does drink water but still no appetite.
