- Monitor your cat for any other symptoms or changes in behavior.
- Ensure your cat stays hydrated and comfortable.

It's understandable to be concerned when your pet experiences side effects after a vaccination. While Purevax vaccines are generally safe, some cats may have mild reactions such as vomiting. Usually, minor reactions resolve on their own, but it's essential to monitor your cat. If she continues to vomit or if new symptoms appear, contacting a veterinarian is advisable.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
