Hey Everyone,
I brought my 15 week old kitten to the vet yesterday for his second set of shots.....so this time he got three needles (last time he only got 2), rabies was the extra needle this time. He was VERY well behaved like usual and everything seemed fine. The vet noticed some crusties in his eyes and nose and told me he had a minor virus infection but to just keep an eye on it and if it gets worse to bring him back. Well, at about 11pm he was DEAD tired (I know, it was from the needles and SOOO much playing yesterday) but he was also shaking (like shivering) too. It was a cooler night, but any healthy person or animal probably wouldn't shiver cause there was just a light breeze coming in the window. I called the emergency vet line and they told me just to keep an eye on him as shivering is not a side effect from the needles. I put him on my lap with a wool blanket and he proceeded to fall right to sleep and stopped shivering.
He seems ok this morning, not AS crazy as he usually is but he isn't shivering. There was, however, a lot of crust in his eyes this morning. We are going away for the day today so he will get to sleep all day.......I am making sure the house stays warm (not that it's cold outside at all!!!) and that he isn't exposed to any drafts.
is this something to worry about?
