my kitten did the same thing when i took her for the first vaccination few weeks ago, i was worried too! she just slept nearly all the way through for 24 hrs or so, getting up to play for literally 5 mins every now and then, and didn't eat either, but by the day after she was back as playful as before! she's getting the 2nd one today, hopefully it wont be as bad.. i was feeling so sorry for her!
lots of cuddle to your baby, im sure she'll be fine soon!

I think the vets should have mentioned that she would be sleepy afterwards because mine did.

It was Cats Protection and no, they never said anything. She slept all night in her basket and still didn't eat this morning. She also weed just outside the entrance to her litter tray as if she couldn't get the energy to step into it. I felt awful leaving her to come to work. I'm going home early though and hoping she's slept it off and feeling a bit better.

i know exactly how you feel, and I'm dreading taking my fur baby to the vet to have it done in a few hours! mine had it done in the afternoon, and until the evening after she looked really poorly, and like yours she would "cry" if i tried to move her, didn't eat anything. Then all of a sudden, after lots of sleeping, she just got up and started playing again, and the morning after she was full of life as usual.
in the end that's the effect that a vaccination has on a human baby too, it does make them a bit poorly. At the time I read somewhere that if it lasts for more than 48hrs then you should refer to the vet, but any less than that is pretty normal.

If she'd weed outside her litter tray maybe it's taken a bit of a toll on her hunny xx maybe a quick call to your vets just in case they'd like to see her to check her xx

saying that hopefully she's nice and lively when you get home the nice thing is vacc's are once a year and not so bad once theyre older and used to it xx

How many shots did she get? I wouldn't be able to help but be nervous if this was my cat, for my last cat died from getting to many shots at once..

We noticed she was acting weak for the next day or two and she jumped up on the sofa and missed and fell down.. which never happens. My mom promised me we would take her to the vet the next day after her work... But she died 7am the next morning. :/

I don't want anything bad to happen to your kitten so keep a really close watch on her and if there are any signs of it worsening take her to the vet.

Thanks for your replies. She seems a lot perkier this evening. Still sleepier than usual but she seems more relaxed. She played for a few minutes and is talking to us (lol!) rather than crying. What has really reassured me that she is on the mend is she has almost finished a whole pouch of food. I'm not worried about her now. I think she'll be better by morning. The stress of being a fur-baby parent!

Glad to hear she seems better. It is such a worry owning cats - I am permanently on alert!
