She had a reaction called parathesia which makes all nerve endings extremely painful.
Not sure about her second set of sits in 3 weeks. The vet says she will give Benadryl and Cortisone before the Vaccinations. I never want her to have to go through this again. She is supposed to have no activity until tomorrow night. Try telling that to a puppy who is feeling better!
Has anyone else experienced this type of reaction.? I kinda hope the answer is no! |
I am so sorry your little one went through this after her shots. I would get a second opinion about giving her those same shots again. My vet says once a dog has had a reaction to a vaccine he never repeats that vaccine again. I have heard from ppl here on the site w vet med exp that is bc each reaction to a vaccine is worse than the previous one.
