Another Katsu update after yesterday’s vaccination post 🐱💛
At around 2 PM yesterday, I started noticing that something wasn’t quite right with Katsu. He was meowing A LOT, running back and forth like he couldn’t settle down, and constantly licking himself and his paws. His breathing also became quite fast, and occasionally he would open his mouth and pant.
At first, I wondered if he was having a reaction to the vaccines. I tried turning on a fan in case he was simply too warm, but nothing really changed. I contacted the vet, and initially we discussed giving him medicine for his fever and possible allergic reaction. But after thinking about it, I decided it would be safer to let him stay at the clinic overnight, just in case his condition got worse.
When I finished work and took him to the clinic, the vet found that Katsu had developed a fever, a rash on his body, and redness around his eyes. It turned out that he was indeed having an allergic reaction to the vaccines, although thankfully it wasn’t severe. The rash was probably making him very itchy, and together with the fever, it explained why he was so restless and breathing so quickly. 🥺
The vet gave him an injection and medication, and by that evening we received good news — his breathing had returned to normal! ❤️
I just picked him up from the clinic today. His fever has gone down, and although there’s still a little bit of the rash left, the vet said it’s okay. Most importantly, Katsu is no longer itchy, restless, or uncomfortable. 🥹💛
He really scared me yesterday! I’m so glad I happened to still be at work and decided to stand there and watch him for a while because his constant meowing seemed unusual. Otherwise, poor Katsu might have had to stay uncomfortable for much longer.
Welcome back, little Katsu. Please don’t scare us like that again! 😭😂💛🐾
