Possible reaction to Rabies shot?

[April2]

I took my youngest cat in today to get her Rabies shot (she's a year old). A couple of hours later she threw up quite a bit. I wasn't too concerned yet because my oldest cat does that every time I take her to the vet. I think it's just nerves. Well, I called the vet and they said it's not unusual for them to throw up or have a little diarrhea after getting the shot and what I really needed to look for was if her face was swollen or if she was having trouble breathing. They said to take her to the ER vet if I see those signs.
Well, those aren't the signs I see. She's had a few droplets of diarrhea and now had more of it on the kitchen floor. She also has been running around like she's a little freaked out. She's been shaking her paws and twitching her legs a little bit. I've tried to pick her up to calm her down and she doesn't want to be held. She keeps running off. She's just acting odd to me. Now I know as a young cat she's often acted a little crazy and ran around, etc. but I think this seems different. I'm not sure if I should just continue to monitor her and take her back to the vet in the morning or take her tonight? I'm just not sure what to think of this since this isn't the signs of a bad reaction that the vet told me to watch for.
Any advice?

Rabies vaccine can cause bad reactions.  My cat was fine also and after a rabies vaccine, he came home and went to bed.  Every day after that he got sicker and sicker.  He stopped eating because the food kept falling out of his mouth so he couldn't eat.  He stopped drinking and became totally dehydrated.  He would lay over the water bowl and just lay there like he was too spaced out to know how to drink.  He would try to jump up on the couch and just fall down as he was so weak.   The vet gave him a bolus of fluid under his skin.  He has had five so far and he is still sick.  His lab shows he has kidney damage.  A vet assistant told me the research shows a rabies vaccine stays at the therapeutic level for 7 years so why are they giving them every one to three years?  Insatiable greed.  If I had an indoor cat, I wouldn't give them a rabies shot.  If you look more online, you can find a lot of information on all the damage the vaccines can do.  They are depending on us to protect them but we can't even trust the vets to do the right thing for them.

I wish this petition was worldwide.  You can't take a pet international without rabies vaccination. ;(

It is true..I experienced the aggression and seizures for ONE MONTH!!! It was terrible.  Multiple seizures.  My cat bit me twice. Even chased me..DON"T get them a booster unless necessary...

I agree with you. No more rabies shot for my babies. The one I have now is an indoor cat and he only goes out into the back yard or front yard with me.  My other cat, a Ragdoll had violent reactions to Rabies vaccine. Very aggressive and everyone KNOWS Ragdolls are docile.  Had he not been moving to Switzerland with my son I would never have taken him to the vet for this. I suspect Remmy will live out the rest of his life in Switzerland. To come back he would have to be vaccinated. I'm not vaccinating my Maine Coon. He will live his life out here in the USA.

My Ragdoll drooled, attacked me several times along with seizures after his rabies vaccination. Thank our Lord, after praying for a month they finally went away. Vet even put him on phenobarbitol which didn't help except to stop seizures.  He couldn't even go to the litter box and he loads drank water. Ravenous appetite. After his naps he would wake up aggressive and if you were in his line of view, it was you he would chase.  It didn't seem to matter. Anything human or animal moving. He even chased my other cat...No more rabies shots for Remmy.

Do not know if this is still active but I had a similar tragic event. I foster kittens for the local SPCA and usually have them from only a few days old. On Aug. 17th I got 5 kittens their first shot (which does not have the LUK portion) and by tuesday we could see they were losing weight. By friday I had 5 skeletons where I had started with 5 on the chunky side. We live in New Orleans and are constantly battling fleas so when I took them to the vet on Saturday they blamed the fleas and kept the kittens there as 1 showed signs of annemia. Even though he got sub- q fluids and a blood transfusion Punks died on Sunday morning. I told the vet I believed the shot caused the problem but they blew me off. They kept the kittens for several days and Mon and Tues said they were eating well but they wanted to keep them another day. On Wed I was going to pick them up and was 5 minutes fro the vets office at 4 PM when they called to say Patches had died that morning )6 hours earlier) and they wanted to keep the rest another day. I said no as they again told me the shot would not cause this problem. I took the 3 home and they seemed to enjoy playing in the house again. They ate well and 2 had soft stool bit nothing frightening. We kept them on Gi prescription food  but by friday of that week Bam Bam started to have trouble breathing and we got him on Clavamx. He was still not gaining weight but his brothers had only gained 1/2 an ounce so they were not too concerned. He started to loose .1 of an ounce per day but went back and forth needing to be syringe fed and eating ravenously. I am an aircraft mechanic so had access to pilot breathing oxygen so suplimented him twice a day for 15 minutes. It seemed to help and Monday morning he ate very well but he was still not active. Monday night he was back to not eating and I called the vet tuesday. They said I was doing all I could and just stay the course. Tuesday night he slept with us curled up on my neck. Wednesday I did not want to leave him at the house so brought him to the hangar which is 10 minutes from the vet, He died on Wed just after lunch. Iheard every excuse in the book about my number of cat and some litters are just extra sensitive etc but still denial that the shots caused the issue. Fortunately Pebbles and Peaches are back to full weight and activity so think they will make it.
I have one other foster who has cronic low weight and diahrea that began shortly after she got her first shot(fvrcp with Luk) but was done at a different vet. I started looking into the possibility they got the same batch from the manufacturer and got the syrum numbers from the vets.
They were not the same but I found something worse.
One vet said they get the FVRCP from Merck and It's called Nobivac. The other vet says they use Nobivac but it comes from Pfizer. I called Merck first and was told Nobivac is their proprietory name and Pfizer could not have made it but they did use Pfizer to make their rabies vaccine.
The syrum number given for the 5 kittens corresponds to a rabies batch not Novibac as indicated by the vets records.
Could this have been the cause?
The kittens are still getting formula and I think KMR is dairy. Merck uses a calf based syrum carrier. I know in other countries people who eat horse meat can have organ damage and diahrea from shots that contain horse syrum carriers. Was this the cause?
So far I have been brushed off. All I have is 3 dead kittens ,2 recovering that by law need booster shots before they can go to new homes, and a lot of questions with no answers.
Any help out there?
