Is my cat's tiredness and sleeping a side effect of a rabies vaccine?

Question

Hello, my 4month old cat got a rabies vaccine this morning at 8:15am and around 1pm his behavior complety changed, he didn’t want to play, he spent the all afternoon and evening sleeping on our bed and not being with us, usually he follows us everywhere we go, the way he is looking at us is not usual.... He just look very tired with no juice. My husband and I are wondering if this could be a negative aide effect of the vaccin that He got today? Thank you for your help.

Hi. Poor Sunny. I know it may seem abnormal, but it is common and normal to have a patient be quiet, lethargic, hide, skip a meal, and ecen be sore and whiny after a vaccine. Some vaccines affect patients more then others. I would not worry unless Sunny starts vlmiting, having excessive lethargy, hives, swelling, or trouble breathing. I would monitor and call your veterinarian if any further signs occur.
