Cats may have some adverse reactions 2 to 3 days after being vaccinated, including fever, lethargy, loss of appetite and other symptoms. This is because the immune system responds to the vaccine. During this period, we can increase the amount of water the cat receives, and we can also appropriately add probiotics and special anti-stress medicinal cans to feed the cat. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm and maintaining environmental hygiene. It will usually recover slowly in 2 to 3 days. If it still has adverse reactions beyond this time, or the body temperature is too high after vaccination, and the abnormal reaction is very obvious, you still need to consult a doctor to confirm the cat’s specific condition.

1. Vaccination is not recommended if the cat is in poor health

Before taking the cat to the hospital for vaccination, you need to confirm whether the cat’s mental state, diet, etc. are normal, and whether there are other health problems. If the cat has a bad condition such as a cold, it is not recommended to take the cat for vaccination immediately. Because in this case the cat’s own immune system cannot resist the weak virus. After vaccination, the cat may directly become sick or the condition may worsen.

2. Choose formal channels to get vaccinated

Most owners will choose to go directly to the pet hospital to get vaccinated. Generally, hospital vaccination will be a little more expensive, but it is still acceptable. Some owners will also choose other places where qualifications cannot be confirmed to get vaccinated. Although the price is cheap, the quality and safety of the vaccine cannot be confirmed, so it is recommended that owners be cautious when choosing vaccination channels.

3. After vaccination, you need to observe it for more than half an hour before going home

After a cat is vaccinated, many owners are worried that the cat will be frightened and choose to take it home immediately. There are certain risks in injecting vaccines. Cats may develop allergies and other conditions, which is quite dangerous. If you go to the hospital, cats can be treated as soon as possible in the event of an emergency. Therefore, we recommend that after vaccination, it is best to observe the cat in the hospital for more than half an hour to confirm that the cat has no urgent or strong adverse reactions to the vaccine before taking the cat home.

At the same time, parents are reminded again that if the cat does have a serious discomfort reaction after being vaccinated, be sure to contact the doctor for consultation and confirmation in time, and do not give the cat random medicine for treatment
