Tims having a reaction


My boy isnt himself at all. He took himself off to bed early last night & never saw him all night. Not like him at all. Today he appears as if hes walking on "tiptoes" or "high". I would have thought reaction would have worn off by now. He has ate a bit & did a "wee" but is so not Tim. He ate some Dreamie treats from me but appeared daze like.

I cant do anything about it either as i have to leave shortly to take mum to a hospital appointment

Im having serious misgivings about getting his booster

Has anyone ever had a cat that had a reaction like this?

Yes, I'd give the vet a ring too; that's worrying.

I would phone the vet for peace of mind, Velvet.

Cassie had her booster two weeks ago and like all other years, she was very quiet after and didn't have a big appetite. By the 2nd day she was more her own self again.

Re: Tims having a reaction


Spoke to a vet nurse and explained I had to go out. She said see what he was like at teatime and if still the same to take him back.

We got back from the hospital around 5-ish. He was still very quiet but not as stiff, about 7pm he was beginning to loosen up and move more freely, still very sleepy

This has really made me very very wary about getting him boostered again. The reaction is so severe

Re: Tims having a reaction


Oh dear Velvet, what did the vet say about it when you took him in?
