Sunny went to the vet for a re-check and a second worming and the vet gave him shot #2 of his "kitten shots". The vet just gave him the shot and did not tell me what it was. When I asked, I was told that it was shot #2 of 3 of his kitten shots. I don't know what a kitten shot is but I don't like the fact that he was given a shot without my permission and without me having the information to make an informed decision of what my kitten was receiving. We just brought him back from the brink of death (according to the vet) and he is now approx. 4 1/2 mos old and 4.6 lbs. I don't know what a kitten shot is and that concerns me. He got home and slept ALOT. He seems fine today, but still has not gotten his appetite back to normal.
He is supposed to go to the vet in another 3 weeks where she wants to give him a rabies vaccine, shot #3 and a FIV vaccine along with being neutered. I think this is way too trying on him. I have decided that he will NOT receive the rabies vaccine since he is an indoor cat only and I don't want to tax his little system with it. I will not give my kitten anything that is not absolutely necessary for him to live a healthy and happy life.
Other than shot #3 does he need the other vaccines? What are the "kitten shots" that he is receiving? I have decided that he will not see the same vet because of her giving him a shot without my consent on our last visit. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
