| A Little Scared...please help Hi, Star had her second set of shots today that included lepto. (We had to have lepto because of where we live). She did well with the 1st set. I know most reactions occur with the 2nd set. She was given the shot at 9:00 am and it is now 2:00 pm. No swelling or itching so far, but she is very tired. Is this normal and what other reactions should I be aware of? Thanks |

| I think being tired for the day is normal. I too have to give Lepto, I don't like it, but.... |

| Hi there! When my Paris had her shots the Vet said that sleepiness was one of the side effects. Hope she feels better |

| That is very normal and so is inappetance. If you HAVE to give lepto, it should never be given in a combo or on the same day as another shot. Giving that many vaccines at once can negate the immune response and then they are all worthless. Michigan is probably one of the worst areas for lepto lately but since Ellie is allergic, she can't have it... Some dogs can't have it because they are allergic and they do fine. I'm not saying not to give it but there are very few places I would even consider it...
