I just got an eight week old kitten last Thursday. When I first got her, she was bright eyed, bubbly, and full of energy- the typical kitten. Two days afterwards, I took her to the vet and had her examinied, and tested for feline lukemia and given a distemper shot which the vet claimed would likely make her sleepy. He was right. It has been three days now since her appointment, she is still sleepy (not even wanting to play with toys), and acting oddly as if she is having a hard time focusing, she has been trying to throw up, and she is making an odd swallowing movement. She stil purrs and such when I hold her, and she follows me around-but she seems almost "stoned". I am thinking about taking her back to the vet tomorrow- but I'm afraid considering how she is after her appointment. The only cat I've ever seen show similar symptoms was a cat infected with Toxoplasmosis. Has anyone else experienced the same thing after a distemper shot? I'd like to hear of any other cases.
