For the Heck of it!

Hubby and I took all three cats to the vet last Tuesday for their routine checkups and they all got their vaccines.

Friday morning I noticed our oldest cat, Skid, would not eat his breakfast. This worried me of course, so I called the vet who said to bring him in the next morning.

It turns out he had a delayed reaction from the rabies shot which was making him sick. The vet put a subcutaneous pouch of liquid under the skin on the back of his neck because he had lost 5 ounces of weight since Tuesday and she said he was dehydrated. She also gave Skid a shot and some high calorie food and taught us how to force feed him in case he still didn’t want to eat.
