Just a quick note - since we are heading out on errands soon...
Gracie has reacted to her shots - not horribly, but enough that we definitely notice something is not right! She had her kitten shots before we got her from the breeders, but nothing since. She's five and fully indoors.
What we have seen is a visual / nervous system issue, I think. The first day home she did nothing but sleep, and we gave her homeopathic 'thuja' as suggested by the vet, as well as an immune booster (sterol, an adaptagen). By Thursday she was more active but showing weird behavior:
We put her back on the homepathic in small amounts, plus some other things. I have given her trace amounts of: milk thistle powder for liver cleanse and support, B vitamins for stress, and L-theanine, an amino acid which the doctor recommended for central nervous system healing (when my father was going through his terrible fatal experience of fluoroquinolone poisoning
).
She seems a little better today. I will keep posting as we go. Obviously, Gary and I are just sick about this. I am just glad we know her so well that we can tell something is wrong and can help her through. I have already called the vet with a 'heads up' but of course it's the weekend...

- we have an oriental rug with strong colors and a few black-and-white motifs; in the evening she was spooked by the rug and swatting at the designs, as if she was seeing double(?) or thought they were raised up (?) or moving (?)
- next day, in the daytime, I put a small amount of fish oil (clear) on her plate in the kitchen (glass), usually I add it to a plate of food, but this time I forgot; she backed away in fear, and then slowly studied it before she licked it up
It seems as though she is not trusting what she is seeing, and as long as things are routine she is fine, but if there's any novelty or uncertainty, there's fear and confusion. - next day, in the daytime, I put a small amount of fish oil (clear) on her plate in the kitchen (glass), usually I add it to a plate of food, but this time I forgot; she backed away in fear, and then slowly studied it before she licked it up
