HELP please reply my kitten seems unwell after vacine

Hi my 10 week old kitten had her 1st vacination today and tonight she seems unwell very tired dry nose no life not eating and not drank looks very sorry for herself. Could the vacine not agree with her or is she just feeling sorry for herself as it was her 1st trip to the vets. ? please reply i am worried.

Please call your vet NOW, they may want you to bring her back in.

Being tired after the vacine is normal, but my cats will usually eat & drink some. Cat's can have an allergic reaction. Watch your kittens breathing. If it seems to be having difficulty breathing, or is taking short shallow breaths rush to the nearest vet, if it's after hours go to the local emergancy vet.

Hi thank you for your advice i will try and phone them now to ask advice breathing seems ok just very very tired.

Some cats will get a little sick/lethargic after vaccinations. It usually only lasts 24 hours. My cat Veeshan had her vaccinations this year and she was sick for 2 days with very little drinking and no eating. I had her vaccinated on Friday so I couldn't call the vet till Monday but she was better by then. I will never again vaccinate on Friday.

Only 1 of our 3 cats was a tiny kitten when we got him....and he acted like that after his kitten shots (never has as an adult though....none of the 3 have)
He just wanted to sleep, and looked a bit like he felt "yucky" when I`d wake him to check on him, and look into his eyes.
By the next monring he was fine.
It never hurts to call the vet and report how he`s acting, just to be reassured that it`s normal.....or to have him tell you if there are signs you should watch for in case of an allergic reaction.
I hope your kitty feels better soon....nobody likes to be sick.

I've never been one to be paranoid about vaccines, but Maggie had an allergic reaction to one this year (the new Calici) and she was definatly taking short shallow breaths. Now I think I'm always going to watch them like a hawk after.
