I don't know why they give them all at once, I thought that was how it's done.
That's how a lot of them do it but it isn't a good idea. Too much for the babies to have to process at once and tehn you don't know what they are reacting to if there is a problem.

When they do react, quite often an anti-inflammatory and Benadryl are given. When Ellie reacted that's what they did and then had us continue the Benadryl. Ellie's dose is 1/2 teaspoon (at 6 1/2 pounds).

I would hope that after going back to the vet that the vomiting would stop. If her gums are still pale, there is probably still something going on.
