Thanks for all the responses. I think at this point I will be making an apt with another vet. I actually go to this vet b/c they have emergency after hours but I just do not trust them anymore and I think they just glazed over this. Plus, they never told me there could be such a reaction to this vaccine. I originally went in for only one vaccine but since she was due they administered both. Knowing what I know now, I should not have allowed this. Stella is super lethargic still and not eating/drinking as much as usual. She may be tired from the benedryl...they have me giving her 1/2 a pill every 8 hours so she is super sleepy. What worries me the most is she keeps shaking her head every few minutes when she is awake. Or she will rub her face/ears on the floor. I had them check her ears and they were red inside but they said it was from the reaction to the vaccine. I did see a difference after they gave her benadryl/cortisone...before that her head shaking was so violent they were afraid she would burst blood vessels in her ears which would require surgery to drain. Thankfully it is not so violent now and I dont think that will happen.
I am also going to look into a vet that deals with titers. I do not want Stella to go through this again...after reading about Brandi...I cant even imagine something like that. sooo awful
Thank you all again!!!
