Hello,

My 4 month yorkie had a reaction to Lepto shot yesterday. I was not aware of the risk of what could happen. My vet gave it very matter of factly. We live in suburbs, and my yorkie stays inside. He had very bad reaction and we rushed him back to vet immed. and when we got there he had seizures. They gave him valium 3 times and sent home with 2 prenidsone tabs. when he came home, he was very spunky, but today, not as much, refusing his food, not as playful. Is this normal? I am so mad at the vet for not mentioning this to us, I could scream.

Also, are there any long term effects that I need to worry about now? Thanks in advance.
