He was good until Sunday later in the day when I noticed he did not want to walk. I called my vet on Tuesday morning and spoke to the technician. She said this was a normal reaction for small pets. There is also a swollen spot on his upper left shoulder from the shot. I do have to take him back on May 17th for the balance of his shots. I will have the vet look at him and assess his health condition at that time. I have never had problems with him "shaking". I am sure your little one does not like the vet. My suggestion to you would be to make sure that you are with your pet at all times at while at the vet and ask lots of questions.
Has anyone had any problems with their Yorkie walking after a rabies shot? |
Sadie did not have a problem walking, but she had joint pain when it came to stepping up over the door threshold, after coming in from going potty.
She would wait for me to pick her up. The vet gave me a liquid med. to help with joint pain which she took for five days.
She is back to normal, and yes, I was with the vet the entire time she was having her physical/shots.
I found out why she shook so much. I dropped a plastic lid from the countertop, and she ran. I got to thinking about it, and I believe the lid hit her in the head. I was washing dishes when she ran up to put her paw on my knee, and wanted to be held. She shook for a week afterwards, but is fine now.
I spent alot of time holding her during this week, and moved her dish to another room. She still is leery about going into the kitchen, but she does eat there now.
How is Cody doing now, and what did you find out?
This is baffling! Please keep us posted on your little furbaby.
