Yesterday morning she got her 2nd distempter shot and rabies shot. She was acting sleepy and not very playful, but I thought that would be normal for the remainder of yesterday - (BTW she also got a cast off for a dislocated tibia). But then again this morning she wasn't playful at all, she follows me from room to room normally playing with any and everything she can find. You know, a regular busy body. But today she just hid under the bed, when I was getting dressed... layed on the floor as I got ready in the bathroom and when I went to the den, she just layed on the floor and went to sleep (usually she'll jump into my lap and try to read what's on the screen
) Is there something wrong with my baby? This isn't her normal behavior. Is she feeling bad from the shots or what?

She's probably feeling bad because of the shots. Can you check her temp.? I know one member here her cat was acting the same way and had to be rushed back to the vet for fluids etc because she had a reaction to the shots.


Is she eating drinking pooping etc?

Yes, she's still eating, drinking and pooping. I checked the litter box this morning. How long will she be moving in slow motion like this?

well, if she is not better by tomorrow morning I would call your vet - just in case.

I am sure she'll be fine - some cats just take longer to get over shots others it does not affect at all.

also depends on if they used the live virus or the dead virus in the shot. The live virus tends to cause problems for the animals once injected-
