I'm a little worried, but I know he is probably lethargic from the shot - he also got kennel cough and a worming. I called the vet and she said that he should be okay, just look out for any swelling or vomiting. Nothing yet, thank god. Has anyone had experience with this? Thanks!!! |
My vet gives my boys their shots in their hind quarter... not in the leg leg, but not the butt either... more in the upper back thigh area... is that where it was? lethargic is normal, my little guy slept the rest of the day when he got his. My bigger guy seemed unaffected by it. depends on the pup I guess. seems the smaller they are, the harder they fall when it comes to vacs!
