My cat went in for her distemper shots yesterday afternoon. She was eleven weeks old. Today, the vet called us to see how she was. She would not walk, eat, or drink, and she could not stand up. She had to go to the emergency vet and went into cardiac arrest. The first vet told us that there was no possible way that it was an allergic reaction but the emergency vet said that it was very possible. I have never heard of a vet calling to check up on an animal. The kitten has died now, but it is still weird that no one can seem to find a reason for the sickness.

Mike, I'm so sorry for your loss and have a similar story. They gave my 15 year old female cat a distemper shot and within 1 week, she became totally lethargic, wasn't eating or drinking and at the end of the week could not walk. They put her on steroids and I have to say they did help her but I don't want her to have to be on steroids the rest of her life. I found a holistic vet and she is doing accupucture and chirocpractic treatments on her. She was doing better for a while but mentally, she's just not the same and I'm afraid she never will be. She was 15 and extremely healthy. She was still a bit playful, had bright, shining eyes, ran, jumped, and played hide-and-seek with me. Now she lays around all day and night and basically only gets up to eat and barely eats at that. I miss her so much and could just cry every time I see her. I feel like I poisoned her and it's taking its toll on me.

I've since found out that the vaccines they are giving our pets (and children) have mercury in them -- the worst toxin on our planet and they are shooting it right into their bloodstream -- and telling us they need it. And why do they use mercury in our vaccines -- because it increases the shelf life.

They over vaccinate under the guise that it's necessary and I've since found out it's not. After a certain age, they just don't need it anymore and in fact, it builds up in their system and actually can hurt them.
