I gotta tell ya - I go to what is supposed to be the premier veterinary clinic in the area and just realized that the cat I brought in in December got a shot of convenia.
I am very happy with the vet clinic I use, but I'm disturbed that she didn't discuss it with me. One thing I wasn't prepared for in this new journey though animal medical care is the need to be vigilant with the vets. Which is hard when you don't know what you don't know. Plus, why would she give him an antibiotic shot rather than discussing my ability to pill him? Plus why wouldn't you use the least risky option
Anyway, as I've written about here, two weeks after that vet visit later he ended up in the emergency clinic because of vomiting and collapsing. Two weeks after that kind of the same thing, vomiting, lethargy and anorexia (but no collapsing thank god.) He's still not quite 100%.
Is it possible the shot could be the problem? It was several weeks afterward that he got sick?
