Poor Casper. Some cats can develop fever or soreness after vaccination. If he is very sore, not eating and sleeping excessively it's worth considering a visit to the emergency vet for Casper to be evaluated and medicated to treat a possible vaccine reaction. If he is sleeping more but still getting up to eat and drink and use the litter box it may be a milder reaction that will subside with time. in either case be sure to let his regular vet know so that he can possibly be pre-treated with medication before vaccines from now on. Hope he feels better soon. Do Not Give any OTC pain or fever meds to Casper. Cats cannot metabolize many human medications and they can be fatal.
