I had to go to work but my husband was gonna check on him at lunch time. He called me at work and told me to call the vet. He wasnt wanting to move at all. We drove him back to the vets and he evaluated him and determined that he was having a bad reaction to the shots. He gave him a shot of some kind of steriod and another shot that would take away the side effect of nasea from the steriod. He said within 5 minutes he should feel better. ( boy did he scream when they gave him those last 2 shots) My vet felt horrible for giving him so many shots at once, so he didn't charge me for anything. We got home that night and he was allready acting better. His tail went from the down positition to be straight up. He was playing about with Elle. And was eatting and drinking once again. But one thing I have learned from all of this, is never under estimate the power of routine shots. |
poor baby. romeo had the same experience. thank goodness he recovered on his own. it's a shame vets give so many shots at once. their little bodies just can't take it. i'm happy it turned out ok for you. what a scare.
