Hi. I would like to ask you all a question...
I have an 8 week old kitten who got shots today (Leukemia and Distemper plus dewormer even though the fecal was negative), She has been very sleepy (lethargic) ever since....that was at around 3:45pm today. She is eating and defecating as usual, but she is sleeping more than normal. I have only had her since Sunday, but I am alittle worried. She is my first kitten in almost 14 years. My last cat died last year at 12 of Kidney Failure...it's been a long time since a kitten was in the house. Also, because my other cat was older she didn't have to have vaccinations so regularly. I am worried about my little Stormy girl and I will most definitely call the vet in the AM, but I was hoping some of you could ease my mind. BTW, she is a really good kitty. She loves to play (other than today after the vaccs). She is getting along well with my two boys (8 and 5) and her animal sister Zena (the GSD...german shepherd dog). We have baby gates up and the works to have her private places, and she slept above my head on my pillow last night...she is a sweetie. I hope she is ok. I know the vacc. can be hard on their systems. I vaccinate my gsd every two to three years instead of yearly because I know the side effects these things can cause.
Well, thanks for any advice you can give me. It is much appreciated. BTW, she will be spayed and she will be keeping her claws. I bought some scratch pads with cat nip and I am either going to have my hubby build her a scratch house or we will buy one.
Edited to add....my name is Wendy
