Our 4 year-old female, Typo, has issues with getting her vaccines. The last two years, she was given a distemper/rabies combo vaccine and both times ended up at the emergency vet (because my vet had left for the day). The first time she went into anaphylactic shock and needed a beneadryl shot. Thankfully she was OK.
The next time, the shot was given in her back leg and within an hour, she was unable to use that leg. It would give out and she would fall over. After an X-Ray and a few hours in the ER, she was fine, but the ER vet said my vet must have "hit a nerve" or something.
Is my vet just horrible at giving shots? My other 3 cats have not had any issues with vaccines.
All four of my cats are going in on Friday for checkups and I'm wondering if I should take Typo someplace else. Or if I should demand that Typo stay for a few hours for observation after her shots so they can make sure she is OK before I leave with her.
I was once told by a vet tech on another forum that there's no such thing as a "combo distemper/rabies" vaccination. But my cats' records show this is what they get.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a... -
This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly.... -

. I am really sorry and actually the vet should know better than to keep vaccinating this cat...... I would never give your cat another vaccination. Vet's really don't want people to know this and especially the drug companies. After your dog/cat receives the initial puppy/kitten vaccines and then again one year later - they are immune for life. I also would give another vaccine at age 3 though and then never again. You can do titres tests to prove the immunity is there in your cat. I have never heard of a combo distemper/rabies vaccine. Please do not let them vaccinate your kitty this week...
