I'm sorry to hear that she had a bad reaction to the vaccine. None of my cats have ever had this reaction but Sky has actually gotten sick from it with side effects similar to an URI. I did have Alani & Blaze fully vaccinated with all of their kitten shots and when they turned 1 year old they also got an adult shot. Now I don't vaccinate any of my cats any more. They're all indoor only and don't go any where except to the vets once a year for their annual exams.

I'm very surpirsed that your vet even vaccinated Ellie-mae since she's so ill and on medication. Being on pred will compromise a cats immune system too. My vet doesn't like to over vaccinate animals and she even told me that once a cat is 10 or older that I shouldn't vaccinate them. If I did still vaccinate it would only be every 3 years but they don't recommend the 3 year rabies shots. The rabies would need to be done yearly. The city that I live in doesn't require cats to even have a rabies shot so I won't give them any more of these either. I hope that Ellie-mae recovers quickly and that you won't need to take her to your vet. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.
