This is Paloma, 4 month old fire point ragdoll that was abandoned in a cardboard box on the steps of my apartment in Mexico City. I think it was my neighbor who was tired of me "borrowing" his cat when he left her outside. She was between 3-4 weeks when abandoned, less than half a pound and fit completely in my palm. Now she is larger but still a baby.
Right now she is suffering from uveitis in one eye that developed as a reaction to the leukemia vaccine. She was not with her mom + siblings long enough to have a strong immune system and the vaccine kicked her butt. After 9 days of treatment she is 90% better and only has residual inflammation in her eyelid. Her episode of uveitis is what brought me here, looking for anyone who had experience such a reaction from the leukemia vaccine before.
One lesson learned, kittens left a 3-4 weeks should not receive every vaccine possible esp, not before one year of age. She is my first ragdoll but far from my first rescue cat (the name could not be more right on, she literally melts into your arms and body, couldnt care less if you ever put her down). Any ragdoll advice?
