Edna, ondansetron (generic for Zofran) is a good med for nausea for cats.  Your vet will have to give you a Rx for it.  Check around at your local pharmacies as cost will vary a lot.  Usual dose is 1 mg every 8-12 hrs.    That and the pain meds will help make her comfortable.  I also fed

I wouldn't do it, and if by law, you have to give them rabies vaccines, try to get a waiver from your veterinarian. It's not good to bombard compromised immune systems with all those vaccines. I would say, maybe the initial series of FVRCP, which technically should protect them for life (not

I don't believe that the doses would be different because you break the big one into 7 doses (as in Frontline Plus).  I was afraid to do this at first because I thought it might somehow be different than the single doses but if you think about it, there's no sediment at the bottom of the tube.

You can definitely get waiver for some medical issues or immunodeficiency. For rabies, if you can't get a waiver, insist on the purevax brand which is non-adjuvanted. It has less irritating ingredients, making it far less likely to cause cancer etc. kg On Saturday, October 6, 2012, MaiMaiPG

Can you get a titer instead of vaxing for rabies each (three) year(s) or does your law not allow that? Also, I'm sure you know that 1-year and 3-year rabies vax are the same contents with different labels. And that experiments have shown the rabies vax lasts at least 7 years, if not for life.
