Did he also get a booster? My Yorkie's reaction was reported to Merial that manufactured the Rabies and to Fort Dodge who manufatured the 5 in 1 booster. The reaction was also reported to a Toxicologist at the Animal Poison Control Center. You can google the Manufacturer and find their number and speak with a vet tech. If he got anything from Merial or Fort Dodge, then I think that it is important to call them. If they say they have not had a similar report then that is not true. You can email me privately if I can help. Susan |
Max did not get a booster--just his rabies shot. He received his other shots a month ago. Max's situation didn't sound exactly like yours. It didn't seem like he had an allergic reaction to the shot because he was having trouble applying pressure to his back paw the following day--it wasn't within the first few hours of receiving the shot. It seemed that he was just sore and uncomfortable when he attempted to walk. He rested all day yesterday in front of the window and was beginning to move around better last night at around 9 and he was moving around just fine this morning. I think he was just sore but I was still worried at first because I'm used to him being active and following me around everywhere and he wasn't doing that.
