Hi guys, yesterday I took my cat for vaccination, they did 3 of them , I brought her home , she ate and she was fine, couple hours later , I found her under my bed sleeping, she refused to eat or drink or touched so I did some research and i guess the symptoms is from getting vaccine, so now it's been 24hours , she does not have fever anymore but she is not eating , I called the vet and said it's common for cat to get sick like this but if she doesn't feel good by tomorrow than bring her,

How old is she? Kittens have fewer reserves than adults, so this is a more concerning situation with a kitten. Has she eaten or drank anything in the last 24 hours? If not, then you are starting to get into dangerous territory. If she still has not eaten or drank anything in 36 hours, I would definitely get her to the vet pronto.

Keep her warm and cozy.  You can / shall try and give her some water or diluted kmr if you still have it, with a dropper or so.  It lessens the risk for her going dehydrated.

Her on tummy and 4 paws, head up.  Dropper  so she cant get water directly into lungs.

Yeah, this reaction to vaccin does happen now and then.  One of the reasons not to do too much at the same time, even if it is conventient to get everything done at the same visit.

Good luck!

How is she doing now? If she's reacting to the vaccinations she should be starting to recover by now. She'll probably be okay for a day or two without food, but at the very least you need to get some water into her.

One of my cats had the same kind of reaction to vaccinations. Strangely, it wasn't her first vaccines. It was the boosters when she was about a year and a half old. It's been a few years ago, but it seems like it took her about 48 hours to start feeling better. My vet now gives her a shot of benedryl before any vaccine and she hasn't had a bad reaction since then.
