The PureVax feline distemper vaccine is crucial for your cat's health, but it's normal to be on the watch for any side effects post-vaccination.
- Monitor for mild side effects such as lethargy or decreased appetite.
- Serious reactions are rare, but it's important to know the signs.
- Contact a vet if any concerning symptoms arise.
Vaccines can sometimes lead to mild side effects in cats, including slight fever, decreased appetite, or soreness at the injection site. These symptoms typically resolve within a day or two. Rarely, more severe allergic reactions like facial swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing can occur. It's encouraging that your cat is doing well, but do keep an eye out for these symptoms just in case.
