A serious cat question

[JanMichael]

my cat got her vaccines yesterday (Rabies and that other one...she is indoor only); she is still favoring the leg where she got her shots.

It has been 30 hours. She is eating, drinking and everything else normally....just the slight limp, and favoring--

Should I panic? OK, I am not going to panic, but we are leaving town Saturday, and I am worried about not being here for a problem.

1. Don't panic, JanMichael.

Vaccines affect some cats that way.

Feel where she was shot. If it is hot, take her to the vet. If you are really just too worried, take her to the vet.

Otherwise, enjoy your trip. (Cat sitter?) I'm sure she'll be fine. :)

2. Yes, we have three people coming over to check on her

I luv my kitty.

btw...this is Stephanie...Michael is calmly drinking wine. I am the one freaking--can't even enjoy my bourbon tonight.

Thanks for the suggestion...she bitches at me when I try to touch the leg-

She feels cool to the touch...I am NOT going to take a rectal on this cat!
