Fever after cat vaccination

Cat vaccination side effects

Cats may experience some adverse reactions within 2 to 3 days after vaccination, including fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, and more. This occurs because the immune system is reacting to the vaccine. During this time, we can increase the cat's water intake, add appropriate probiotics, and feed special stress-relieving cans. Also, pay attention to warmth and environmental hygiene. The cat should recover in 2 to 3 days. If there are still adverse reactions or high temperature after this time, or if the abnormal reactions are very obvious, it is necessary to consult a doctor to confirm the cat's specific situation.

Cat health status

Before taking the cat to the hospital for vaccination, you need to confirm the cat's mental state, eating habits, and whether there are any other health problems. If the cat has a cold or other poor conditions, it is not recommended to take the cat for vaccination. In this case, the cat's immune system may not be able to resist the weak virus. After vaccination, the cat might become ill or its condition might worsen.

Choose a legitimate vaccination channel

Most owners choose to go to pet hospitals for vaccination, which is slightly more expensive but still acceptable. Some owners choose to vaccinate at places with unconfirmed qualifications, although the price is cheaper, the quality and safety of the vaccine cannot be confirmed. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a vaccination channel carefully.

Observe the cat for half an hour before returning home after vaccination

After the cat is vaccinated, many owners worry that the cat will be scared and take it home immediately. Vaccination involves certain risks, and the cat might have an allergic reaction or other serious issues. It is rather dangerous. If an emergency occurs, the cat can receive treatment promptly at the hospital. We recommend observing the cat for at least half an hour after vaccination to ensure that there are no immediate or strong adverse reactions before taking the cat home.

Important reminder

If your cat does experience severe discomfort after vaccination, please contact the doctor in time for consultation and confirmation, do not randomly give the cat medication for treatment.
