Kitten not eating, swollen after bee sting and vet shots. What to do?

Question

My kitten was bitten by a bee on her paw yesterday. I took her to vet immediately and he gave him antihistamine injection and a painkiller. After an hour the injection site was swollen (near the stomach) and she was unable to walk properly . Now she is not eating or running as she used to. What should I do now?

An injection near the stomach is odd...I've never seen this type of injection given there. If you didn't see the injection being given there, then it may be something else like another bee sting that is swelling. The antihistamine will usually make them drowsy, so this may explain the change in walking and behavior. The pain medication may also have a similar effect depending on what was given. However, what you are describing is a bit worrying and it would be best to take Ammu back to the vet and just make sure that everything is OK.
