Raven and Jack got shots today. Jack only got his distemper and Raven got distemper and rabies.
They seemed fine when they came home, they were even purring and happy. But now Raven is not putting weight on a front paw. There is no swelling, or heat but she is in obvious pain and does not want to walk. The shot was in that shoulder.
Does that sound like a shot reaction?

Yes, thats probably a shot reaction. Just imagine your last tetanus shot, and thats how she feels. If she's not feeling better in 24 hours, call your vet.

agreed. you may also want to call the vet now and ask what you can give the kitty for allergic reactions.
if it was a dog i'd say give diphenhydramine, but i cannot remember if cats can have it, or the dosage. ...
