My cats were given their rabies, distemper and feline leukemia shots this morning. They were fine the first few hours--bright, alert and eating a snack when I left for lunch. When I returned this evening, I noticed they hadn't eaten all of their late afternoon snack (from autofeeder). And they've been sleeping since. They usually complain if we do not have our nightly play session by 9pm. Not so tonight. They also won't eat their dinner. One of my cats, who usually only goes every 48 hours, has already had two bowel movements. The last one was very soft and just outside of the box.
I've read that cats can feel a bit down a day or two after vaccine shots. When should I worry? I do not detect a fever (but's that's by touch, I do not have a thermometer). Should I force feed them tomorrow or just let them be?
