Lots vibes needed for Tim - Vets tomorrow


Wee bit of history for those who don't know his background.

Last year when Tim got his initial Vaccs he had a very bad reaction, he went into anaphylatic shock. It was horrific, have never seen an animal in such pain or scream like he did. We have a 40 min journey each way to vets, when we got home & lifted him out of his carrier, he couldn't move & when coaxed, all he could do was crawl. Vet reception said it was "just a reaction which would wear off & leave it until the next day to see if he improved". Well in all my plentiful years of animal care I had never seen a reaction like that!* Informed them in no uncertain terms we were coming straight back!!* Normally Tim yells from he gets into the car till we get home but he was so quiet, we thought our kitten was dead. Once back at the vets they took him immediately

So..... you will see why his booster this year fills us with apprehension. Although initially housecats they have access to the outdoors with a large cat run so do need their vacc as there are a lot of cats about here

Tomorrow Tim is booked for his booster so please everyone send us good vibes that all will
be well. Baby Mindy is also going for her second initial vaccination so i will be well loaded
down with cat carriers

Oh Velvet, how awful! Poor little Tim, you must be so worried. I had no idea this could happen. I do so hope that he/they will be alright tomorrow.

At the least the vet knows what happened last time and, hopefully, will be prepared to cope with anything similar. I will be thinking about you and Tim tomorrow, and little Mindy too. ((((hugs))))

Fingers crossed for a good session with none of last year's awful reaction. Will be thinking of all three of you......

I think more cats than we imagine react badly to vaccs. Misty reacted very badly when he was a kitten. Hope it goes well tomorrow, if not might be worth considering an alternative, nosodes maybe?

Re: Lots vibes needed for Tim - Vets tomorrow


oh dear what a horrendous ordeal for Tim and you!!! Can't believe the vet said it was 'just a reaction' how awful, but so glad you were on the ball enough to whisk him back.
I have everything crossed here for you and it may be best to hang on a bit at the vet after he hs had it to see his reaction
