I too had an issue with my new yorkie reacting to vaccinations. Being an ER nurse I thought she was either head injuried, hypoglycemic (which I treated anyway) or had some type of neuro event. I came home after working 12 hours, my 17 yr old son was with her, and she was very lethargic, had difficulty walking and holding her head up. When she did get her head to rise it looked like she had Parkinson's she shook so much. She had received her DHPP and bortadella vaccines the day before! Needles to say we ended up in the emergency vet only to rule out a few things. The next morning, after being up with her every few hours to make sure she ate, she seemed normal. However that night she again was rather lethargic but not to the degree as before. I was really freaked out....all the ER nursing rationale went out the window. From now on I will pretreat with Benadryl before vaccinations and only allow one at a time. She is due again in 2 weeks....thankfully she had fully recovered. |
