Subject: Re: Help! Vaccine
Reaction?
Nina,
Carolina seems a liitle better this morning, so I guess I was being a
silly mom.
The deworming pill doesn't make much sense to me either. This is a
young, freshly minted vet, which may explain it. She couldn't get much
in the way of fecal material to test.
Moving to a rural area from a large city has some disadvantages, one of
them is health care for pets and people. It just isn't as good
here. The advanced technology is not readily available as it was in
Cleveland. That modern health care could not save any of my kitties
though; it did keep them alive longer and more comfortably.
Thanks for the info.

Sharon,
A
lot of cats feel sick after vaccines, or deworming. Getting them
together might easily have her feeling crummy. Add to that the stress
of a vet visit and I wouldn't panic to much. I know saying that is
easier than doing it. Keep a close watch on her, check her ear tips to
see if they feel hot to you, and hopefully she'll feel like her old self
tomorrow. If she gets any worse, or doesn't improve by tomorrow, you
might want to call the vet and let them know what's going on, just to be
on the safe side.
Isn't nice to have a group of people to talk
to that you KNOW will
understand?
P.S. Why would your vet think
that vomiting undigested food warrants a
precautionary deworming? Next
time I'd have a fecal test done to check
for parasites. Vomiting could
indicate all sorts of things, I don't
think I've ever heard it being
indicative of worms though.
