After posting on this thread less than a month ago that we haven't had any reactions... Khloe got her bordatella vaccine today.

The vet did it near her armpit and she was wearing her Buddy Belt and a sweater. She was fine during the injection and I was right with her petting her chin to distract her. When the vet set her back down, she cried (more like yelped... it was so scary) for almost 20 seconds. She was holding up her leg and I started stripping her sweater off of her to get her BB off. I figured maybe it was pinching the injection site? She continued to cry and the vet massaged her gently and moved her arm around. She was then put on the ground and she walked around cautiously, but was using her leg.

I was really freaked out. The vet said her leg could have been cold, so the vaccine could have hurt. I have never seen her react that way to a vaccine Poor girl. Afterwards, she seemed happy to just be in my arms and even laid down on the counter when we were checking out. This is definitely not like her.

We came home and a couple hours later, she vomited twice. If she pukes again, we are off to the emergency vet. I am watching her and cuddling with her in bed... She's tired, but otherwise seems okay.

I'm questioning if we will give bordatella again...
