Title: Charlie off his food and been sick - vaccine reaction?
Post by: Maddiesmum on February 20, 2008, 17:50:51 PM
Don't know if I should be worried or if it is just a reaction to the vaccines?

It was the first part and he had the jabs at 11am and was sick at 6pm.  All his dinner that he had at 3 came back and he isn't interested in any food.  Has now retired upstairs.  rang the vet and they said if it was a reaction to the vaccine it would have happened a couple of hours after he had it.  They said I could bring him down or monitor and if no better tomorrow take him down.

Did he have the leukaemia included cos if so its probably that.

What your vet says is the same as what mine said when Misa was ill although it was the second part as he had the first while still in rescue.

It may take a few days for him to feel good again but definately take him back if he still not eating and a bit better to morrow.

Misa perked up a bit by 24 hrs but it then took about a week before he was back to normal. My vets had said if he wasnt better in 24 hrs they would take him in and put him on a drip.

I hope Charlie feels loads better tomorrow  :hug:

Yes he did, should I be worried or just monitor him do you think?

I would just monitor him like the vets says, if he was to get significantly worse then emergency vet would be needed but do not worry cos I dont think he will.

He is likely just to be very quiet and withdrawn but should be perking up in the morning and if not back to the vets pronto  :hug:

It may have been the stress of going there again.

Well he has come downstairs and had a few mouthfuls of food. Don't think it was the stress wouldn't that have shown earlier?

He's fine thanks.  Perked up last night, ate some food and played demon games on the bed with my feet!  Eaten again this morning, had a leap around with Da Bird and is now snoozing on the landing.  He had the triple vaccine (that includes the FELV one) as is going into cattery in a few weeks for his hols.
