Yesterday, I was feeding her dinner and a lid fell off the countertop and onto the floor, next to where she was eating. Seconds later, she was pawing at my knees and wanted up. I held her, and since then she shakes and pants, off and on.
I used some anti-anxiety drops that the vet gave me two years ago, as she has separation anxiety. But, she is hardly ever alone so I never used it until today. Within minutes she was very calm, but it only lasted about an hour.
I am going to get her into see my vet tomorrow, but can anyone tell me if they have had this problem, and do you think it is related to her shots that she had a week ago.
Thank you so much.

that your little dog is having such a bad time since the booster shots were given.
It sounds like she has been traumatized from something that happened there. Was she with you the entire time, or did they take her into the back for her shots, or for something else?
Is she a very tiny yorkie?
Has she ever reacted like this before?
What did your vet say about this?
Are you in an area where there are a lot of choices for different vets?
I wuld never let them give all shots at the same time again, as this could be a reaction to her shots. Break them up by a week or so. Yorkies are so small, they just cannot process the shots all at once, at least that is what I believe.
Please keep us posted.

I would see another vet for a second opinion if this keeps up. I would keep her close and be sure she is OK, and not get her stressed out.
