Kitten with dermatitis not eating after shots. Should I get a second opinion?

Question

My kitten more than 3 months old is suffering from contact dermatitis. The vet said that he will have to take shots everyday for 5 to 7 days . After the first day he seemed fine during the night and ate well but in the morning he ate littke and stopped eating by evening .Its 24 hours now and he is still not eating anything. I consulted the vet but he just seemed to ignore the question and gave him shots again. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 21 days old | 3.748 lbs

Poor kitty. In this situation I would consult with a different vet. Especially if your concerns are not being heard and now Mau is displaying signs of illness. He needs to be checked thoroughly and possible bloodwork done to determine what the underlying illness is so that he is treated properly. I am not sure what shot he was given, but it may be causing side effects that need to be treated for now. It does seem that there is more to discuss about Mau and his condition. A private consultation with an expert here may be best for you to come up with a more detailed diagnostic and treatment plan for him moving forward. I hope that your pet Mau is able to recover well soon and best of luck getting him on a better suited treatment plan for his suspected contact dermatitis. Take care!
