Brought my 2 cats to Petco for their vaccinations. The next day Tiger who is normally very happy go lucky was limping and crying and him sore when we touched him. After rushing him to the er, xrays and blood work they thought he may have been hit by a car. The next day he was perfectly fine. One week after the shot we found him listless and seemingly paralyzed on one side. Again we rushed him to the vet. We told he had recently had vaccinations but they kept insisting it was not the cause of his problems. They said he had neurological damage. At the vet he seized, his hind legs went straight out and he was unable to control them. The vet gave him no hope so we put him down. How does a healthy 2 1/2 year cat go from perfectly healthy to dead in a week if it weren't from the shot?

i am extremely sorry for the loss of your beloved kitty. unfortunately, it is most probable that the cause of his death was the vaccine. vaccines contain some horrible additives and chemicals that can cause reactions in many pets in different ways. if people will take the time to research the side effects of vaccines and shots, it may save a lot of pets' lives. for example, the only vaccine required by law for cats in most states is the rabies vaccine. however, that rabies vaccine contains an adjuvant, a chemical irritant in it that is supposed to increase its effectiveness by getting the rabies vaccine into the muscle faster. now people are becoming more & more aware that these shots are causing cancer at the site that the vaccines are given in the animal!

it's sad and very tragic that vets don't tell people about this. they make money from vaccinations, but these cat vaccines are dangerous and most of them aren't even necessary especially if your pet doesn't go outside. my cats are all indoors only! they do not get any other vaccines except an annual rabies shot, required by our county law!

i found a local vet who gives only one brand of vaccine, merial, and they do not add any adjuvants to their rabies vaccines. therefore, this helps to reduce and eliminate the possibility of cancers caused at the vaccine site. my cats are healthy and happier, and i feel a lot better using these vaccines, even though they do cost a bit more than the average vaccines that contain all the bad stuff. please do your research as much as possible.

good luck, and i hope you can replace your kitty and give another one a really good home!
