After the first shot of the four-in-one vaccine, can a cat get the three-in-one?
The four-in-one already covers the three-in-one plus chlamydia, so a separate three-in-one is usually unnecessary. Switching is not conflicting, but test antibodies after.
My cat got the FVRCP vaccine; do I need a rabies shot after being scratched?
Whether to get a rabies vaccine after a cat scratch does not depend on the FVRCP vaccine, which does not prevent rabies but covers panleukopenia, herpes, and calicivirus. For an unvaccinated stray/unknown cat, clean and disinfect the wound and get the rabies vaccine; for a strictly indoor cat, it may be skipped, but if anxious, vaccinate and watch the cat for 10 days.
My cat has had feline distemper for 7 days, hasn’t defecated, vomited white foam once, but is eating on its own
Not defecating for seven days after feline distemper may be constipation from slowed gut motility and weakened digestion, or from eating little. Professional diagnosis and dietary care are needed; the vet may do abdominal palpation, blood and fecal tests, and give laxatives, probiotics, and fluids.
What medicine should a cat take for vomiting yellow liquid?
When a cat vomits yellow liquid, pet-specific antiemetics can relieve the symptom, but the underlying cause must be identified and treated. Gastritis, indigestion, or feline panleukopenia may all be responsible.
My kitten is trembling all over, won’t let me touch it, is uninterested in food, and keeps convulsing—what’s going on?
Constant convulsions and trembling have many causes and are usually critical, needing immediate emergency care and testing. It may be an untreated disease or severe infection (panleukopenia, FIP) causing shock with low temperature, trembling, poor appetite, and convulsions; or poisoning from swallowed toxins with no warning; or low blood sugar from poor diet or gut issues; or nerve problems like epilepsy or brain disease. All need a vet; watch kittens closely and treat early.
What diseases does the feline FVRCP (three-in-one) vaccine prevent?
The FVRCP vaccine mainly prevents feline panleukopenia (distemper), feline herpesvirus, and calicivirus—three common, harmful diseases. Unvaccinated cats easily catch them, threatening life; panleukopenia is highly contagious and deadly, while calici and herpes are less deadly but still dangerous if untreated.
Vomiting for two days, occasional episodes, now lethargic with no energy, not eating, only drinking water
A cat that vomits, is lethargic, and loses appetite may have acute gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, a foreign object, hairballs, kidney failure, hepatitis, parasites, poisoning, FIP, or panleukopenia, among many causes. The best step is to take the cat to a clinic for exams and tests to confirm the cause, then treat accordingly.
My kitten won’t drink milk, is weak, and lethargic—what should I do?
A kitten that refuses milk and is weak or lethargic may be suffering from poor nutrition, digestive issues, or illness. Dehydration or low blood sugar from infection can also cause these signs, so urgent veterinary care is advised.
2-month-old kitten, home a week, switched food; ate well first 2-3 days then buried poop by the bowl and stopped eating kibble and meat for 3-4 days; mild diarrhea with undigested chicken breast, smelly
The kitten likely has gut trouble from food change, stress, and too much chicken. Stop new foods, fast briefly, feed easily digested food, and see a vet if it persists.
Cat took a 5-hour car ride yesterday, ate and drank normally at the new home, then suddenly vomited yellow fluid at noon today
Vomiting yellow fluid after a long ride may be carsickness, stress, diet change, or gastroenteritis/panleukopenia. Fast briefly and see a vet if it persists.
