Dennis also is a tiny, 2.3 LBS. Every month for the last 4 month since he was 8 weeks he has been getting puppy shots. Can’t remember ever getting so many. The first shot was fine he did not even flinch, the second and third he was not only sore, but had a huge lump where he got the shot and the next time he not only had the lump but he slept for 26 hours. This last round we gave him an asprin before we even gave him the shot and he was just fine.
It is worrisome but necessary. I was very scared but I felt it had to be done. I just babied him to death and that seemed to bring us closer which was nice.
Why not give him an asprin or a half before the shot, it seemed to really help Dennis.
