Hello! Now I can post the rest of the weekend story. Misa's status: The day after Misa's vaccination she didn't wanted to leave her chair. Didn't want to eat or drink water. So we had to call Dr. Gema and she came on monday. She said it was stress because of the trip and the vaccine, but also said that if Misa continued like that by tuesday, we call her back again. Luckily she got better since that very afternoon. Negro's status: As the Misa's sesion was short she asked how was Negro going and mentioned that she was on her way to the lab, so my mom let her take the blood samples from him to make the test. She gave us the results yesterday: Negro has a "Small proportion of Erlichia canis". So, he has to keep his treatment with antibiotics for other 10 days and then make a new blood test. Dr. Gema says Erlichia canis can be present but not active unless the animal goes through a stressful situation. It only takes one tick to get infected. But it is curable. Also, the people who organized the vaccination told us they are going to follow the case. Negro is currently fine, he seems more happy than in previous weeks. Now I have to get the Bravecto for the three of them to prevent this from happening again. #english #cats #dogs #pets

@AlmostSand My dog Bruno, who is no longer alive, was very ill for 2 months after the tick infection. He became completely anemic, just ate sometimes, didn’t want to move, and just slept. It was very weak. He received an infusion every day for 2 weeks. I hope Negro recovers soon. They should receive Bravecto chewable tablets all year round, not just once! I wrote to the old post in a comment, but you didn't read it!
Sorry, I did read it, but for some reason I didn't react to it. 😅 The person I talked to in the animals store told me that too. I found different types of Bravecto, not only tablets but pills. I know close cases and I know how hard it is. That's why we were so scared about Negro.
Is it costly to vaccinate cats?
Well, this one was for free thanks to that vets organization. They schedule these free services every few months in different cities. But in the stores, the vaccine cost about $8 to $12 and you have to pay a vet to apply it; they charge about $5 to $10 for it.
