Got home and about half hour later noticed she had huge welts all over her back end called the Vets and was told to briing her back in immediately by the time I had her back in she was covered with these welts. They had to give her two steroid shots and told me to give her childrens Benedyl for that evening. She was fine in the morning but later that day noticed she had some more of the welts so gave more of the benedyl. Three days later now. I am considerig strongly to not have her given anymore of the Distemper vaccines and if I can get away with it in the future no more Rabies. Other then this she has been so healthy she is just over a year and a half and so don't want to go through this again Lynne |
Wow, I'm glad your kiddo made it through. Some vets would not have even given that 2nd shot of parvo/distemper. If the reactions are this bad, remember that they can be worse w/ subsequent shots. If it were me, I'd be deeply considering no more shots.
