The vet will probably tell you to just watch him now because he wouldn't be doing much of anything if he was that sick.
I would make all vaccine appts. for early morning in case there is a reaction then. You would have all day to take him back in...
The vet also should know about this in case he/she wants to premedicate before the next sets of vaccines.
If you ever have an emergency like this again, you could try childrens benadryl (not sure of the dose right now). That is more for non-life threatening situations though.
I would still call the vet to be safe. |
My vet told me to use 1/2 tablet of 12.5mg Children's Benadryl (the key ingredient is diphenhydramine). Of course Franklin is much older than your puppy so maybe 1/4 a tablet?
