Hi My name is amber I have two cats Jerry and Midnight and they both got there vaccinations done yesterday. They got the FVRCP, FELV, Dewomer, and Rabies Rabvac3. So before the shots where taking when they was at home they was playful and after their shots they are not as active as before and they only at after they came back from getting there shots I have not seen them eat since then.

Hello, Mild lethargy and change in behavior can be normal up to two days after vaccinations. This is because the immune system is working to build protective immunity and the cats are stressed about the car ride and vet trip. Signs of a serious allergic reaction to vaccines include: facial swelling, hives, vomiting, and diarrhea. Those signs would be a reason to go to the vet ER. I hope this helps.
