Jamie,
I'm obviously behind on reading my e-mails and hopefully your kitties
are now well and rowdy. Did anyone mention the kitties may have
been sick because of all the vaccinations. There are side effects to
everything and vax are a big one. The more vax that are given at one time,
the higher risk of feeling funky afterwards. It is recommended to wait 4-6
weeks between the different vaccinations. My vet never charges an office
call when the kits have shots ... glory be, the vax are already $$.

Subject: What do i do?
This
might be a little confuseing but please bear with me. I'm not exactly sure
what to do. About three weeks ago my Feonce and i went to the animal shelter
and got a kitten. He had all his vacinations and was tested negative for the
feline leukemia. Well while we were there signing the papers a lady brought in
another kitten and said it was a stray. He seemed like a sweet kitten and then
i saw her literally rip him from her shirt and he hissed at her and she
actually smacked him! so i told them that i would take him home as well. Two
days later we took Casper (the stray kitty) to the vet as well as little kitty
( animal shelter kitty) To get a check up and get casper his first shots. The
vet looked him over and said that they were 9 weeks old and were very healthy
kittens. Well two days after casper got all his shots includeing the leukemia
vactination he started acting differently. He would not play at all and would
just meow alot, didnt want to eat, didnt want to play with the other kitten,
wouldnt use the litter box, was throwing up just saliva, and also urinated
blood twice, and just seemed like he was dying. So we took him back to the vet
and he said he might have hookworms. The vet gave him three shots and then
looked at his eye membrane and it was pure white, and looked at the other
kitten and said that casper had feline leukemia and that little kitty looked
like he was getting it as well. He told us to get a fece sample from casper
and gave us special kitty food ( A/D and C/D) and told me that if he didnt eat
tomorrow he was a dead kitten. Well now he is starting to play a little bit
and he is eating alot but its been a week and he still doesnt seem like
himself. I was thinking about getting a second opinion because the vet told me
he was a healthy cat and then days later hes not? i dont see how that could be
possiable for him not to have noticed the first time and that he was so
healthy looking and playful before he got his frist shots and then after near
death? I dont really know what to do for him, Do you think i should get a
second opinion or is that doctor probably right and if so what can i do for
him to bring him back to the fun loving kitten he was? Thank You
Jamie
