hi,
Thanks for the replies

I took my boys to the vet last night. Fletch for his infection and both of them for their vaccinations. Fletch has either clipper burn or an irritation to the products the groomer used on him. But he infected it by licking it so much. Hes on an antibiotic and has to wear an e-collar for a few days.

Both of them had their vacs, rabies & distemper, their 2nd 'puppy' round, 1 year after the last time they had them. Now the next time is 3 years from now. Last time they had them the vet did it on 2 seperate days bc they were so small (2.5lbs) but now that they are bigger, she did both the shots last night at the same time. Dexter had an allergic reaction. His eyes got all red and swollen and he had big red hives all over his body, he was itchy and rubbing all over the carpet. I called the emergency number they left me with and they told me to give him 2mls of childrens benadryl. I did and it seemed to have worked, he cleared up in a couple hours and he looked and acted fine this morning. Im not happy about leaving them alone all day while I work, but both of them might need a good day of peace & quiet! None of us got very good sleep last night!
