Treatment for Side Effects of the Feline Rabies Vaccine

Modified on Jul 31, 2017

Side effects are surprisingly common after a kitten cat gets his rabies vaccine. Fortunately there are natural treatments for side effects from these vaccines including Bentonite clay, activated charcoal powder, colloidal silver, children's benadryl, and the homeopathic remedy Thuja.

Activated Charcoal Powder or Bentonite Clay

If a cat is experiencing vomiting or diarrhea following a rabies vaccination, activated charcoal powder or bentonite clay can be used to settle the stomach, stop diarrhea, and removing toxins from the body. Either one can be mixed with water or wet food, depending on which way your cat would be most likely to take it. 1/16 teaspoon would be enough for a kitten. A 10 pound cat may need 1/2 teaspoon. The dose could be repeated every 2 hours until symptoms abate. 

If a cat or kitten has a reaction at the site of the vaccine, activated charcoal or bentonite clay can be used as a poultice to reduce swelling and heat.
