Yes, yes, yes! We almost lost our baby Bengal boy due to a major reaction lasting 21 days following his shots at ten weeks. We have three Bengals which are all the same age and all three went through their shots on the same day. Two had no problems after their shots, but Adonis gave us a real scare. Prior to his shots, he was normal, healthy, active and aggressive. Immediately after the shots he went to a corner aside my nightstand and sat facing the wall all day long for almost a week. He began to slowly recover after the first horrible and scary week but was unable to jump up or climb onto anything for a full 21 days. Yes, we consulted with the Vet (A National Chain) who had absolutely no advice but to wait it out. Since then we have decided not to give Adonis any further shots since he is enclosed in a safe area but I can't help but worry. At 16 weeks he fell from a seven-foot cat condo which he had mastered with skill and grace on his first day of ownership. He broke his leg in two places. At 20 weeks old his "third eye" covered his normal eye and he had to be raced to the Vets once again. We still don't know what caused that. I worry about all three of my beautiful kitties but I believe that this kittens response to the early Vaccinations has permanently altered his physical capabilities, including his balance, and may have physically stressed his body so much that it is continuing to create major issues for him.
