 They can have a reaction to rabies that can cause lethargy and thus reluctance to eat/drink/pee/poo.

Was the cat vomiting before the shots?

Reply to Dr. Vamvakias's Post: Yes, because of the dermititis (i.e., itching, licking, scratching), thus was throwing up about 4 to 5 times daily. That's why I took her to the vet to begin with. She's still throwing up about once daily, but I think it's only because she's constipated. I visited vet today and got some Laxatone, hopefully this will help her eliminate. They said she may need a fecal exam if it does'nt help. She did poo after giving her warm milk last night. Today, she has not vomited, and she has had about half a tablespoon of Laxatone and a small can of wet food and limited dry food. She did go to bed after eating (about 2 hours ago), and has been there ever since. Hopefully, she will go soon. Muffin is like a child to me, and I am so worried about what to do for her. Please help if possible, Thank you so much for your time.
