Btw, w/ her puppy shots - was that just DHP/DHPP? Or did those include Lepto? If Lepto caused the previous reactions, I'd avoid that at all costs. Lepto isn't a core vaccine, can cause severe reactions, and is often avoided unless Lepto is endemic to your area. |
It was just DHP/DHPP. No Lepto, but thanks for reminding me to watch that in the future. Her reactions the the puppy shots caused more skin irritation than anything. This time she was swelling all over. Completely terrifying!
Thanks for the advice though
