I took a stray kitten i found to the vet yesterday for a check up. She has ear mites, roundworms & fleas. They gave her the topical treatment "revolution", plus a yellow liquid medication in a syringe for her to swallow (don't know the name). She got 3 shots as well- rabbies, feline leukemia, rvrcp. Ever since I brought her home, she won't move from her bed, not eating/drinking & grawls when you try to pet her. She's been like this now for about 18 hours. She has had a couple bowel movements, but that's the only time she's gotten out of bed. Should I be worried? Is this normal?

I wouldn't be alarmed. It's quite normal for cats to feel lethargic after shots and some may developed a slight fever. Give her a day or so to recover.
If you are worried, give the vet a call and ask why is the kitten behaving in such manner.

Okay thanks for the advice! I'll give it another day or so and hopefully she's back to her spunky self!

Yes, but if you are worried, just give the vet a call.

BTW, do post photos of the kitten for us to admire. We love photos here ;)
