My Cat Is Limping After His Feline Leukemia Vaccine Yesterday. Should I Be Worried?
My kitten is 5 months old and this is his booster shot. He is limping and seems to be in a lot of pain. He reacted badly to this initial vaccine, by being lethargic and sleeping for many hours. He has done that this time too, but also has a fever, limping and pain. Also, he is eating very little and not drinking. I've been using a small syringe to give him water.

Your cat needs to be rechecked by your veterinarian. He sounds very sensitive to vaccine and has a reaction to them. He needs to be placed on medication to help with his discomfort, reduce his fever, and get him eating and drinking again. Your veterinarian may administer subcutaneous fluids (fluids under the skin) to help with hydration. It is a concern when kittens stop eating and drinking--they are very prone to dehydration and hypoglycemia.

Thank you for your response. My kitten has since begun eating and drinking again. His fever is gone and he is alert to his surroundings. He seems to be having joint pain. He is moving very slowly and only short distances. He is not playing and not very active. I spoke with my vet and they say, that since he is so sensitive to everything, they don't want to give him anything else. I am watching him for now. Hopefully, he will come out of this soon. He does have an appt with the vet on Tuesday morning.
