3952.0. "Side Effects" by SWAM2::SZAFIRSKI_LO () Mon Aug 27 1990 20:35

    I am setting up appointments this month to have my three girls get
    their yearly boosters.  Because of work, I will be making the
    appointment for after five.  My concern is, if there was to be a
    reaction from the shots, would the side effects show up within the
    first 12 hours.  I'm worried about going to work the next day wondering
    if they are doing okay at home.  I live kinda far from work and it
    would be difficult to drive home at lunch.  They are 15 yrs., 3 yrs.,
    and 2 yrs., and all in very good health & mischief!
    
    Feeling a little bit paranoid,

    I would imagine that they've all received at least one set of shots
    already so if they did't react to those, I wouldn't expect any reaction
    from the boosters. However, if there was to be a reaction it would
    happen very quickly - within the first hour after the shots.
    
    You might notice that the cats are a bit sluggish for a day after their
    shots, that's normal.  However, Dundee just got rabies & FLV and had no
    reaction whatsoever and the kittens have now had two shots each with
    no reaction at all.

    My vet said that reactions to the feline leukemia shot should show up
    within twenty minutes of the shot;  by that I mean the rare severe
    reactions where you need a vet instantly.  Normally a cat will be
    sluggish and sleepy to some extent for 12 to 24 hours after a leukemia
    shot;  if this lesser reaction persists longer than that, call the vet
    to ask his advice because the cat can get dangerously dehydrated.
