HELP!! We think Harvey is ILL!!

Harvey had his second vaccination on Friday at 6pm.. and has been perfectly fine the rest of the night and saturday.. but sunday night he got really sleepy.. and usually when he spots Noah even if hes half asleep he goes for him and they play fight but no, not nomore?! He has been sleeping all night sunday, all day today still is sleeping now.. Whenever he gets up to eat or have a drink Noah trys to play with him but he just falls to the floor like hes weak and moans.. then goes back on the sofa to sleep.. his ears are REALLY cold, but sunday night they wer really like hot..
Is there any human medicine we can give him to strengthen him up ..
and what do you suggest, whats up with him? me and my parents are really worried..
My mum thinks giving him calpol will be alright but i dont really know!
HELP.
(He is around 17weeks/16weeks old)

Re: HELP!! We think Harvey is ILL!!

I don't think there's a human equivalent that you can give him. Try ringing your vet for advice even this time of night, they don't usually mind giving advice over the phone.

Sorry I can't help any more than that but I hope he improves soon. xx

Re: HELP!! We think Harvey is ILL!!

He's ill, but hopefully it's nothing too serious. DO NOT give him any human medicine, it can kill cats, their livers do not cope at all well with poisons and anything not suited to cats counts as a poison. Paracetomol will poison cats for a start. Take him to the vet tomorrow if he's not a lot better.

DONT GIVE CALPOL! Tiny amounts of paracetamol kill cats. Take him to vets to get him checked out.

Thumbs down Re: HELP!! We think Harvey is ILL!!

Thanks, we rang the vets up and they said it could be a cold or an allergic reaction.. He has a little bit of a 'cheese slice' now and then but hes never been like this before, thats the only human thing we give him except Chicken ofcourse. He said just see how he feels untill Thursday and if he aint any better then take him in
