Hi
I adopted a kitten, about 8 weeks old, which was abandoned in a vet. The vet dewormed her but didn't vaccinate it. Yesterday I saw her and decided to adopt her but the vet said it is better to wait for the vaccination a week because changing homes can be a huge stress. So she just dewormed her again and injected an immune booster (don't know what it was that is what she called it)
So my question is should I wait a whole week or can I just vaccinate her this weekend.
they have no idea how old she is (nor do I), but she seems healthy. I had her checked up at the vet, dewormed and the immune booster. she is very playful and eats like crazy, I don't even know if I should be feeding her more.
I am feeding fancy feast (we don't have kitten wet food where I live only adult) and free feed kitten kibble which she eats now and then. She has been drinking a good amount of water.
The only thing that worried me, are 2 things.
I used to have a kitten (my first) which died of causes unknown diarrhea from one moment to the next and died at the vet about 1 week ago, I washed everything and changed litter box but this vaccination thing got me worried.
This last time she was sleeping she made a funny sound and was breathing super fast (normal when awake).
The loss of my last kitten was devastating, in her name I am trying to give another kitten a happy life to honor her. I still feel terrible and I don't want to be paranoid and over protective but, would hate more to go through the same thing again.
thanks guys and sorry for such a long post
And just to brag a bit about my beautiful princess, her name is Koko and she is sleeping on my lap (I do a craddle with a t-shirt so I can keep working) and that is where she was breathing super fast.
