I'm worried about my kitten. He's almost 6 months old and this past Monday (tomorrow will be one week) he was neutered and received his first series of distemper vaccinations.
He was fine for the first few days, but Friday he wouldn't eat at all but we didn't really notice anything else seeing as he was pretty active. Friday night however, he vomited. Today we got him to eat a small portion of chicken and drink a small amount of water. He also slept all day practically. This evening he vomited again. (the vomit was liquid yesterday kind of yellowish and today kind of pinkish) after that though I played with him and he was quite active for about 90 minutes. Then he laid down again and again is sleeping.
I checked his incision where he was neutered and there appears to be a bit of dried blood not a lot but there is no redness or swelling. Could this possibly be side effects of an infection starting? Or maybe a delayed reaction to the actual neuter? I've read that cats get depressed afterwards. Or maybe a delayed reaction to the distemper vaccination?
His nose has been crusty lately but he's been known to get a crusty nose even from when we first got him.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I had him neutered at the anti cruelty society in Chicago where I live and I do plan to call them first thing Monday seeing as they are not open on Sunday. I just thought I'd try here and see if anyone has ever experienced this and could give me some input. Kind of freaking out here.
Thank you.
