a HUGE thank you to you all :)

I love my cats like they were my biological children and one of my babies had 4 shots at once, being the first time I had vacinations for my cat, I was mortified and very concerned when I saw how she was acting afterwards, the lethargy, hiding under the bed for 3 days, not drinking or peeing. My legs actually hurt from going under the bed so much to hand feed her, as she is normally very playful and social, this was very hard for me and my world seemed to revolve around her. As i googled some answers to see if anyone had a similar expierence I was, of course, given alot of reassurance of how normal it is afterwards for a cat to act that way for a bit. Mostly, this site helped, I ended up reading many different posts on this board and felt 100% better seeing that people had the same issues and their kitties pulled through just fine : ) So, thank you for the wonderful insights and advice I picked up in the past week, and I hope to post here often now.

Glad your baby is doing okay.
Welcome to TCS!

Awww, I'm glad everything turned out ok with your baby. I hope you enjoy your time here at TCS!

Welcome to TCS! It's good to hear that your kitty is doing good. Hope to see more of you around the forums, and of course, pictures!
Once again, welcome!

Glad to hear your sweetie is doing Ok now. Welcome to TCS!!

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone, i love it already

One of my cats didn't do well having three shots at once. He had such a difficult reaction, the vet splits up the shots and does it three different times. He only charges me one office visit, but I bring the cat three times for the shots. You might want to let the vet know about the reaction your cat had. Welcome to the site. I hope you learn a lot and enjoy being here.

Welcome

I'm glad TCS was able to help

I don't think i will be doing shots anymore unless necessary, the rabies wasn't needed since they are all indoor only but she made me feel like a monster for not doing so before! I just wish i researched more before I went ahead with it. the whole reason i took her was just for anal glands

Both of my kitties had severe reactions to their rabies shots...
they are indoor kitties so with our vets blessing, unless they have to be boarded sometime, never again.

Hi there

we're so happy to get the chance to welcome you and your kitties to TCS. I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay with us - we're one great big family and you'll find loads of friends here. If I can help at all while you're finding your way around TCS just click on my username and send me a Personal Message - I'll do what I can to answer your questions.

So glad that your kitty came through the reaction to the shots with no further problems

The only time I had one of those reactions was when Bugsy took a regular Rabies Vaccine, as oppose of PureVax. None of my cats ever had trouble with PureVax, including Bugsy.
My vet now only does the 3/4-in-one vaccine once every three years for indoor cats, which is great... As far as rabies, it is the law so they will have it... especially since I have a sitter come in so often to take care of them when I travel. But one thing is for sure - never again anything else but PureVax. Bugsy's reaction really scared me...
