This may sound confusing, and I apologize in the mean time if anything is. With my concern and annoyance [which I will explain] my mind is jumpy at the moment. So if you need anymore information on something, feel free to ask and I will!

First off, my kittens name is Sam, and pretty much is like a child to me. He is about six months now and since I have gotten him, he has grown super attached to me. I left for three days on vacation and he screamed the entire time I was gone. I feel bad for this kitten too because it seems like he can never get a break.

He came home and discovered he had ringworm, then he went to the doctors for shots and got sick, took him in for a check up and he got the 'kitty flu', and then had to get neutered yesterday, and here is where the problem begins.

The vet, I personally do not like them. I find them very shady and not trustful. You might ask, why would I go there then? Simply, I just recently got laid off, I am very tight on money, aka don't have any, and my stepfather works there as a janitor pretty much. The entire procedure was free and I expected that since they like him so much, they would take care of him.

Now, I was not there obviously, but apparently they had given him two shots, which I will touch on in a moment. They proceeded with the neutering and he was brought home to me. Naturally he was very groggy, and I even hopped into bed a good four hours early so he could rest more comfortably.

I awoke at 6:30 this morning to a rowdy cat clawing up the carpet and was excited to see him so lively already. And now, the problem begins.

I went back to sleep, got up around 10 or so, went downstairs and got breakfast, talked to the family and whatnot, and I come back and he has a bald spot on the back of his neck. It was not there before, and he can't get to it, so how did it get there? I touched the bald spot and he instantly let me know that he was not happy and in pain. I felt absolutely horrible and had my mom call the vets so I could stay with my cat.

At this point, I was not mad, but it happened fast. They told her they gave him a rabies shot and a penicillin shot, without telling her why. It was under my understanding, he had all his shots, and that he couldn't be neutered unless he got the final shot and waited two weeks. So right there when she told me, I was mad. And they told her the penicillin shot was probably the reason his hair fell out and is in pain.

Now when I touch him pretty much anywhere, he shakes all over as if he was in pain. It is too late tonight for me to take him anywhere, and he is eating and drinking fine, sleeping right in front of me as I type this.

Is there anyone who can at least confirm what she said, or do I have to take this cat into an emergency center. I don't have the money, but I will do anything to ensure this cat is safe. I have seen some very helpful people here, and I know someone could at least give me an idea if that could be right, or this lady is just a complete hack.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me, Sam and I both will appreciate it so so so much!
