Madison just had his rabies shot yesterday too.....he got the combo DHPP a week ago along with Bordatella. I'm glad I split them up a little bit at least. He seemed really tired after the first set of shots for 3-4 days....not anything terrible or scary, but I could tell he just wasn't quite himself. After the rabies shot yesterday, he had absolutely no problem.
What is the baby aspirin supposed to do if they have a reaction? Is it just for discomfort or as an antipyretic? Or does it help in some other way?
I'm hoping that the second set (same as the first ones) won't affect him as much.
