Thanks for all the advice. I've given her Benadryl and it calmed her down and she slept. After a while she started whining and stuff again. I gave her another dose. I am not sure if I'm giving her enough. I have a syringe but no measurements on the side. I didn't give her a whole lot and it was children's liquid. She didn't like it at all, but seems to be much better after taking it. She is now asleep and it looks as if the swelling has gone down. It was just her upper lips by her nose and was not swelled up huge, just enough to be noticeable.

The vet did say that from now on we would give her Benadryl before her shots and watch her closely. She said it was more dangerous for her not to have shots then having the reaction with them.
