Rabies jab

My female cat had her rabies jab exactly one week ago. yesterday she started not being able to jump anymore, shes usually very adventurous jumping on cupboard the lot but not she dosent seem to be able to jump on the the sofa without falling or basically just reaching the height she needs to jump.
I have no idea if this is normally or not after the jab she had it in her thigh thats what it looked like any way.
can anyone help me out or seen this before?
shes got the vets agin on thursday and want to see if she gets better by herself, might just be bruising or something but im thinking i need to go back sooner. shes just not her self =[

the only article I have read regarding vaccinating in the tail was because this area was for EASE of tumor removal...it makes no difference from what I've read regarding fewer problems. please post the article if you can I would like to read it!!!!

I read an article by a very well known vet that said that people should get their rabies jab in their tail...this prevents them from the cancer that can  develop from shots of any kind. or rather they did a study like this at a big vet hospital and they said that they get less problems at the shot exposures than anywhere else...

Hi Laura, yes, how did it go at the Vet?

I'm sharing an excellent link Opus88 shared today on the risks and health issues linked to vaccinations.  Please take a look.

Hi LaurraaBownn,

Just finished reading your comments. You said your cat has to go to the
vets again on Thursday. Why does she need to go then ?  If you can,
maybe you should move the appointment and make it sooner than Thursday
maybe even today. We pet parents know when our fur babies are not acting
or behaving like themselves. If she is normally a good jumper and now can't
jump properly and is falling I would take her to the vet sooner than Thursday
and have the vet examine her.  Good luck to both of you.  Eve
