I posted this to let you all know that we have a place to report vaccine reactions...should it ever happen, it is rare.
Should have put a disclaimer that core puppy shots & 1st annual booster are important & it can save your pet's life. Rabies are according to law.
If your vet is still wanting to vaccinate your pet(s) every year, please look for another or tell them no. It's your choice. If a certain shot is needed every year bc it is prevalent in your area (like lepto or giardia) , these are not core shots), then this should be discussed w/your vet.
If adverse reactions from vaccines are going to happen, they most likely will happen on the 2nd or 3rd set of puppy shots, sometimes on the 1st annual booster & so on. If reactions happen, it does not get better but can get worse.
In this case, the pet is given benadryl shot or anti-inflammatory shot (more expensive) to knock out any possible allergic reaction(s). It's best to stay @ the vet's office half an hr - an hr after the vaccines.
We as pet parents need to research all sides, make the best decision for our pets. All the best! |
