My boy had an allergic reaction to a vaccine last night. It did happen about 20 mins after he got it, his eyes got swollen & red and he broke out in itchy hives all over his little body! I called the emergency number the vet gave me and they told me to give him 2mls of childrens benedryl and just make sure his symptoms did not get worse. It worked and in a couple hours he cleared up and was fine. But the whole time, that was his ONLY symptom. He ate and drank, he was running around and itching himself, he did not have a hard time breathing and he did not vomit or have diarrhea. If that occurs then definately take him to the emergency hospital, but if its red hives, call them (instead of paying for a visit) cuz its probably just a benedryl situation. Good Luck!! |
