All previous shots have been 2/3 weeks apart. Has anyone heard of this happening? The vet seemed 100% confident she would be fine . I just can't see how it's ok for a tiny thing to be under sedation

We noticed a knot at the injection site and the vet said it was more then likely from the vaccine and should be ok and he will look at it Tuesday.(today). My fiancé just called me and told me they are keeping martini overnight and she has to be a minor surgery this afternoon to remove an abscess that's an allergic reaction from the vaccination. I am so upset,my baby is only 4 months old:( she has also lost almost another half a pound since last week but the 2 vets don't seem to be concerned with that, they took her temperature and drew some blood but they said she is in no way looks malnourished , too thin or unhealthy in any way. They don't think it's her liver because she has no symptoms of anything other then that abscess. She literally just pooped before her appointment and hadn't eaten since and they think that is part of the reason and her not feeling 100% because of the reaction. Even though you would ever Beale to tell she doesn't feel 100%. They also said their puppy scale only goes in .25 incriments so ifshesbetween a half pound and 1.25 it can draw the reading to the lower end even if she weighs 1.49oz. Please pray for my baby I am so scared and I feel like my heart could break.

THANK YOU everyone for your prayers and kind words. The Vet and my fiancé just called me (he's with her I'm at work and a nanny and can't leave right now) The vet got her in and done sooner then she originally had thought and she is OUT and doing GREAT!!!! I can't explain the relief in my heart. She said there wasn't any kind if bacterial infection that it was like an incapsulated pocket that her body for,Ed because it recognized a foreign object and did not want to let it in. She does have afew stitches though and abut of an open sore:( ALSO GOOD NEWS she weight almost 2lbs !!! The vet said she weighed her in the surgical center (we go to a animal hospital) on that more efficient scale because she kept picking her up and saying even though she's tiny there's no way she was weighing1.25lbs and she was right(theyre also no longer using that other puppy scale now that they see it messed up) AND because she was able to get her done early and they are there until 8pm we can pick her up TONIGHT between 6-8pm. She will be on a antibiotic liquid to be safe. Thank you god, and thank you everyone!!!
