Last year, when Otis got his annual shots, he yelped when I would pick him up because the site of the shot was very very sore.
This year, I learned my lesson. TWO SECONDS AFTER the shot was administered, I gently rubbed the shot site for about two minutes to get all that vaccination moving into the bloodstream. The vet saw me and didn't say anything about it, and Otis didn't squeal at all in the following days. |
