Default Allergic reaction to the rabies vaccine...

Today Ollie got his rabies/combo III shots, and he ended up having a severe allergic reaction. He started shivering convulsively and broke out into swollen welts all over his body, even on his eyelids! His throat was starting to swell too.

I had to take him back to the vet's office for a double shot of strong antihistamines. It was very scary.

Luckily the allergy is going on his medical charts now, so he'll receive an antihistamine prior to any vaccinations from here on out.

Thank goodness I took off a half day of work to watch him and make sure he didn't have an adverse reaction...
