| Allergic reaction? PLEASE HELP! I think my Yorkie Lucy is having an allergic reaction We got her rabies shots on November 4th Today she's been vomiting and every time she eats something she just vomits it back up and now her right eye is swelling and her right side of her bum is where she got her shots and I realized that it's a bit swollen. I don't know what else to do. My dad is pretty much looped off too much wine and my aunt is a really heavy sleep. All I have is my eighteen year old sister but we both can't drive since I'm fifteen and she doesn't have her licenses. PLEASE if you've ever gone through this before PLEASE I'm begging tell me what to do I've been crying for hours since I just don't know what else to do. Again please!!! |

| Can't diagnose online. Call your vet and get his/her expert opinion about what to do for your baby. It seems very late for your dog to be having an allergic reaction so best check with the vet.

| I'm so sorry your pup is so ill. She really needs some medical attention asap.......IF it is related to the vaccine this is some of the symptoms you might see... Immediately or up to 3 days after the shot: Vomiting Facial swelling Fever or lethargy Circulatory shock Loss of consciousness Death Up to six weeks after the shot: Fibrosarcomas (cancer) at the injection site Seizures and Epilepsy Allergies Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) Autoimmune diseases, including organ disease, allergies and skin problems Chronic digestive problems Muscle weakness, especially lack of hind end coordination Chronic digestive disorders Skin diseases Disease the vaccine was made to prevent Myocarditis Post Vaccinal Encephalitis or polyneuritis Behavior problems: aggression, destructive behaviors, separation anxiety and odd obsessive behaviors (like tail chasing and paw licking) Report any reactions you believe might be linked to any shot to your vet immediately. Make sure it goes in your dog's file and get a copy. You may someday need to apply for a vaccination exemption. If your dog vomits, has the runs repeatedly, itches all over, can't breathe, her face swells or legs swell up or if she collapse go to the vet asap. Your vet will probably administer a steroid shot that may save her life but may also give her lifelong steroid related immune problems. Having said this, it may not be related to the vaccine. Without a proper diagnosis this pup sounds to be in trouble with the added symptom of the diarrhea.....I hope your pup gets the help it needs and doesn't have to suffer from lack of basic care....

| Has she continued to swell? If not, then it may not be an allergic reaction at all. Ingesting something toxic is possible, but stomach issues are also possible including obstruction. This is an emergency and she does need to be seen immediately.

| UPDATE It's now 8:31AM About probably 30 minutes ago she vomited and it had like blood specks in it and is having diarrhea with blood in it now. Me and my sister are waiting for our friend to come by to take us to the vet. She's napping right now finally, poor baby has barely slept at all I really hope it's nothing serious. Right now we're asking friends if they have any spare money to give us encase it's serious and the medicine costs a lot. Let's just pray that everything will be okay |

| Right now I'm hoping you are at the vet's office w your little one getting the treatment needed. Are your parents (father) not able to pay for this pup's medical care that you are asking your friends for $? Hoping everything is well w your pup this am.

| Hope your baby is ok. Will the vet accept a payment plan and would your father be willing to make payments?

| Please update when you are able to. Not to pry,but this sounds like a young girl that doesnt have the $ herself to care for this little baby. She is obviously concerned enough to research and for that I give big KUDOS, but I still have to ask - did the family know that once you get a pup they are responsible for it medically ?
