Cat

Normally the tech implants the microchip and may often do all shots except rabies! Rabies is required to be given by the vet. No idea why but it is the law so we go along with it! A blood draw can be done by either a tech or the vet, just depends. My vet used to but he is getting up in years and now the tech does more of it as her fingers are smaller... So far sounds like everything is going right on schedule!! This is wonderful for you and certainly less stressful for your cat!

Hi, again, it's me for my cat who got electric shock and burned hie mouth. Right now, I'm still preparing to bring him to my country ASAP. Four days ago, he got rabies vaccinated for the second time, and I will bring him back the vet for drawing blood to test the antibodies level. Now I could touch a bump on him about 2 cm at the place injected. Will it be a cancer? Should I bring him to notice the bump soon? Do you kow what is the chance to get a cancer because of the cats rabies vaccination? And do you know how the blood drawing would be done? Is it as quick as vaccinaion or quite long time to draw hte blood?? My cat is active and looks in a good health now, but for the past three months, he has been having quite tough time for the recover from the electric shock, surgery of the burned mouth including the tooth exracted and some stomack problem(? he had blood in stool once. Now it seems fine.). That makes me feel if he is okay with these vaccination, (Defenssor 3).

I don't think you need to worry too much about the bump at the injection site however, if it makes you feel better, call the vet and talk to them. If they feel it is necessary to see him they will tell you to bring him in. Doing a blood draw on a cat should take less than a minute! And he won't even notice most likely...Normally it is taken from a vein in the front leg, much like it is taken from the arm on a person....Sounds like everything is going right on schedule!!!
