Vaccine and Sneezing

Post by NorthernPie »

Hi all -

I had a search around and I am quick discovering that Googling medical conditions for Kittens is no different than searching a medical condition for a human being - all resulting in doom and gloom.

Our 9 week Ragdoll had his first vaccine last week and he is now sneezing (roughly 9 times a day) - very active, eating and toileting no problem - so I was hoping someone with experience knows whether 7 days after the shot it is possible for a delayed side effect?

Cheers

Vaccines against respiratory diseases can cause temporary sneezing in some kittens, which should resolve in a few days. Unusual to start a week after the shot though. Has your kitten been tested for HCM, and are his blood lines clear of it?
