I have a 14yo DSH Spayed that is acting odd after her FVRCP booster. She had a complete booster series about 6 years ago and almost died from severe reactions, required a week of hospitalization. Ever since then, I haven't kept up with my boosters for any of my house cats. It scared me off of boosters.
I am fostering a litter of 4/5 week old kittens and this experience prompted me to get my house cats boostered. I have delveloped a good relationship with a new, very cautious vet and I trust him. He pre-medicated all four of my house cats with a steroid before administring the FVRCP booster. He felt that this was the only booster that they needed since they all had their kitten shots and are 100% indoors.
The "overly-sensitive" female is acting very odd. The day of the booster, she was fine, very happy, energetic and social (probably because of the steroid shot). Day 2 she started to withdrawl and today, she's lethargic and is hiding in odd spots. She's eating and going to the bathroom, but she's not herself.
I did notice fleas on my cats last night (for the very first time ever). I assume the kittens brought them in. I have the kittens quarantined and am taking lots of precautions as suggested by forum members and my vet.
I just administered Advantage to all of my house cats.
Could the fleas or vaccine cause the behavior change? Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
