Change in behavious after vaccination?

Hi All,

We have 2 kittens, approx. 14 wks old, male and female (brother and sister).
They have just had their second course of vaccinations 5 days ago. The male
is back to his usual self - paws into everthing etc.... however, the female
appears to be very quiet, doesnt want to play, sleeps most of the time. This
is totally the opposite of what she was before the vaccination. She is
eating and drinking water.

It is usual for kittens to take a week to recover from the vaccination? if
there is no "playful" signs by Tuesday will will take her back to the VET
for a checkup.

Thanks

Mike

It is a bit unusual that your cat is not acting normal by now. I'd
definitely have your vet check her. She may be experiencing a reaction to
the shots. I would try to go sooner than Tues. if you can. My cat has had
reactions to vaccinations which required him getting a shot of a steroid to
counteract the reaction to the vaccination.
