I ADOPTED A 4MONTH KITTEN , LAST WEEK BUT HE STARTED HAVING A RUNNY NOSE &SNEEZING COULD THE FVRCP CAUSE IT?

Question

Could the fvrcp vaccine cause this.

Answer 1

Sounds to me like he might have an Upper Respiratory Infection.  He definitely needs to see a vet to get a proper diagnosis, and medication if needed.  

Answer 2

Vaccines like the FVRCP are not real viruses. They're incapable of causing infectious disease. You should take your kitten to the vet to ensure that it didn't have an adverse reaction. Vaccines cause the organism to produce antibodies against a part (epitope) of the virus, not the virus itself. Some vaccines use almost the entire virus in inactivated form, which could have many epitopes for the cat to develop antibodies toward. If one of these epitopes is shared by both the virus and the cat's own tissue, there could be an adverse reaction, especially since the vaccine in this case comes from a cat derived cell line. I would take it to the vet to have a checkup.

Answer 3

Kitty colds are serious business. It can kill a cat. Ask your vet if the vaccine could cause it or get it back in there to the vet's office for remediation and diagnosis.

Answer 4

sounds more like a URI.  runny nose. sneezing, goopy eyes.. fever, loss of appitite

Take him to your vet and have him checked.  URI's clear up fast with a bit of antibiotics if its caught early

Answer 5

I had two kittens. They were brother and sister and they had runny eyes, noses, and sneezing. It eventually went away and I chalked it up to a cold.
