[Felvtalk] Scotchy

Yes, he had the vaccination and quit eating/drinking so they gave him sub-cu
fluids and put him on some pills. I read the side effects of the pills and
it said it could cause convulsions in puppies but there had never been a
recorded case of convulsions in cats. Scotchy had a convulsion and died. I
told them that it must have been a side effect of the pills but they didn't
think so. I believe it all started with the rabies vaccination. Now, I do
not vaccinate my cats for rabies if they are going to be lifetime house
cats. I had to get a stray cat vaccinated for rabies because I was getting
her spayed and they would not spay until she was vaccinated. She turned into
a very expensive stray because I took her in to be fixed, and they did an
ultrasound and found babies! So we had to wait until her babies were born to
get her spayed. I was able to find good homes for all 4 of the babies.

How awful for you. I'm sorry you lost Scotchy and went thru that ordeal.
Did he die due to a reaction from his rabies vaccination?
