I had Zhoie's titers done a couple weeks ago and they came back with her numbers low for both her parvovirus and distemper. Late yesterday afternoon I took her in for her bloodwork for her dental on Monday morning and she also got the DHPPV shot.

We live about 1 mile from the vet, when we got home she started heavy panting and scurrying room to room low to the ground, like in a panic. I rushed her back to the bet and she was having a reaction to the shot. They gave her a steroid shot and observed her for awhile. I was to watch her breathing and for swelling, if either occurred rush her to MD enmergency vet as my bet was closed. She finally settled down and stared to rest later in the evening.

Zhoie will be 5 in January and this is the first time we've ever had to get a booster and can't imagine getting this one again. The bet said when she needs it again they will give her Benedryal prior to the shot.

I was terrified for my girl, but Im thanking the good Lord she is ok.
