Kitty is not doing well now.
After getting her shot this morning, I let her rest. When I came to check on her a few hours later, she was having trouble moving.
She is VERY tender on her belly. Is this where they give the shot? Also her back is almost equally tender. Just about any movement hurts her. I tried to hold her to comfort her but she let out these little crying sounds that made it apparent that it hurt.
I put her in my bed, covered her up, and am staying with her for the night so I can be close to her to both let her know that I care, and that I am there to take care of her.
It's really hard to see her like this, especially with her just being a baby. I've seen my dog like this too after shots and it always breaks my heart. The worst part is just feeling like there is nothing I can do but offer love as support. I called the vet's emergency line to ask if I could give her a small dose of coated aspirin, but he said no.
I made things worse unfortunately for a brief second by accidentally tripping and grabbing the sheet she was lying on sending her flying about a foot in the air and landing back on the bed. It wouldn't have been a problem at all if it wasn't for the fact that she's in pain.
