The first part of the course really knocked her out. For 36 hours, she wasn&#8217;t the same cat. Right now, it&#8217;s as if nothing\u00a0had ever happened to her, which is great. It was incredibly worrying before today, but I feel much happier that she&#8217;s both protected and ok from the jab.<\/p>\n<p>As an aside, the vet was wonderful.
