After your cat received his vaccinations on Monday, you've observed vomiting, which is understandably concerning. It's important to determine whether this is a common reaction or if further consultation is needed.
- Monitor your cat for changes in behavior or symptoms.
- Vaccination reactions can vary in severity.
- Persistent symptoms warrant a vet visit.
While mild reactions such as lethargy, mild fever, or reduced appetite can be normal after vaccinations, vomiting lasting more than 48 hours could indicate an unusual reaction. It's best to err on the side of caution and consult with a veterinary professional to ensure your cat's health and well-being.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
