Pam, that is very strange that someone else had similar problems not that long ago? Maybe different mixtures of vaccines can cause these reactions??
4 Feline, thanks for the advice. The chicken and rice sounds like something I will try tonight. The check for dehydration is also good to know! Thank you! Last night after work, I rushed into the bathroom to see how he was doing (I was so nervous about what I would find). He was lying in the sink to stay cool, but all seemed ok. I got some of that wet fancy feast cat food, and gave him a small spoonfull every hour. He kept it down, and I was so relieved. But I was still worried about starting him back on his dry food so soon, so I think I will make him up some chicken and rice (must the the healing food for all of us sick folks and cats alike ). He still is a little warm to the touch and really pink around the eyes and ears (you can definitely tell when a white cat isn't feeling well), but he was looking even better today. He even gave me his chirrup greeting this morning before I left for work.
I think I will look into staggering the shots. He only got the FELV and upper res, so something didn't agree with him. He got his rabies in 1999, so it's good for 3 years. I'm almost scared to ever get him shots again after this horrible experience!!

Thank you for all the advice and your concerned inquiries It's nice to know there is support out there! I'll keep you posted on his progress.

Karen
