WHEW! I’m so glad to hear it! I had that happened to a kitty of mine, only it was in the left shoulder. I guess they give each vaccination in a different place. I’m sorry I didn’t remember to tell you that possibility! ---

Our feline overlord is a tortoiseshell too. He’s a cutie! ---

I’m sorry I didn’t remember to tell you that possibility! No worries; I had read about it but I didn’t realize it would be a delayed reaction. Yes, they give them in the upper legs or in the shoulders depending on the shot. ---

> [@vivalostwages](#): > > Evidently it’s a swelling from his rabies injection site. I’m using warm compresses and gentle massage. He is perfectly fine otherwise. The doctor did not think aspiration was necessary. Breathing a sigh of relief. Watch it carefully, if it hasn’t gone away, take him in again. My cat is prone to vaccination induced sarcoma - which we found out by having a lump removed from an injection site. ---

My cat is prone to vaccination induced sarcoma - which we found out by having a lump removed from an injection site. Will do. He is going again in a couple weeks for the second in a 2 part series but I am keeping an eye on it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cat-dopers-meet-bobby-mewler/807569.md?page=1)
