my cat (7 yr) just got blood work, Feline Leukemia, Distemper (sp?) and rabies shot this afternoon at 2pm. She was fine until about 30-45 minutes ago, other than sleepy and slower on the stairs, but she has vomited 3-4 times now in the last 30 minutes. Is this a sign of an allergic reaction or could the vaccinations make her ill?

    Yes...Sounds like a classic vaccine reaction, vomiting, less active, high fever even swelling of the face.

    Your Vet can help you by giving him/her a shot of benadryl or something else. Maybe even give the cat some fluids under the skin (subuticular) to help recover faster.

    He/she should be back to normal after that treatment in no time.

    I would suggest to break up the vaccines into 2 separate visits. You could also give some liquid benadryl 30 minutes before the next vaccine visit to reduce the reaction to the vaccine.

    I hope that helps you...

    Hope the little one gets better soon.
