Sick because of annual shots??

Sarcoma's (type of cancer) can come from ANY injection not just vaccines

My Cally died of a sarcoma - does these mean that the treatment she was having for a gum infection could have caused it LES

my cat gets sluggish' after her shots

Today Zazou is her usual self: a playful and loving sweetie!

I'm so glad to hear that Zazou is okay now. Sky has become ill 1-2 weeks after his distemper shot and Pearl also becomes very lethargic for a few days. I've now decided to only have the rabies shots given to them because they're all indoor cats and they don't go any where except to the vet. I've also read that some of these shots can contribute to IBD and I think that Starr may have this.

I don't know if it could have been related or not. Studies have been done to show that sarcoma's can be caused by any type of needle poke, regardless of what's in the needle. However I believe sometimes sarcoma's just happen due to genetics or environmental factors.

I'm glad to hear that Zazou is feeling better!! Poor girl! To me, it sounds a lot like a reaction to shots.

Lily, who is usually always healthy, also seems to be under the weather the day after her shots, she's lethargic, sleepy and doesn't eat. It's easy to see that she's not well, but so far, it never lasted longer longer than one day.

Luna, on the other hand, never shows any reactions to vaccines.
