Today I took Bailey to the vet for her second series of puppy shots. This is the vet that I have used for my other two dogs and I have no complaints except for the cost, but I think that's expected. Anyway today they she had a fecal test and received a dewormer and her DHLPP-C vaccine. Everything was fine until I got into my car. Bailey threw up. I walked back in and they took us to the back where they gave her a preventative. They told me to take her home and not to feed her for 45 minutes and then feed her. They told me to watch her carefully. Of course, I was at her side for 45 minutes making sure that she was okay. I then went to feed her and she did eat a little, but about a minute later, she started throwing up again. Needless to say, I went right back to the vet (she threw up once more on the way) where they told me that they would give her the preventative again and monitor her until 2:30pm. I waited there until that time came. They brought her out and said that she was okay. They fed her and she did not throw up again and seems to be fine now. The vet told me that for her next vaccine, they will give her the preventative first before giving her the vaccine.
My frustration with this situation is knowing that little breeds are very fragile (Bailey only weighs 2 lb. 12 oz.), why not give the preventative before as a precaution?
Why put a pet owner through this scare?
Maybe I'm overreacting, but my first priority is the health and well-being of my Bailey and it upsets me that she had to go through this when it could have been prevented.
Thanks for listening to me vent.
