Can your vet give you a pain killer for her? my little guy did the same thing when he got a shot in the butt... he cried and wanted to sit on my lap all night, but I couldn't touch him bc hed scream! I called the vet and went back to pick up some pain killer liquid meds.

She'll probably be fine tomorrow, but today she is just really sore!

oh yeah, one other thing, when my dex got his first round of vaccs by me (so technically 2nd round since the breeder gave them a round) my vet did them one at a time, and I went in the office 3x that week with him just for a min to get him a vac bc he was too small and my vet was afraid to give them all at once. Well that worked out good but he was sore and screamed and cried! I took him back in Nov and he got his 3rd round of vacs, well he's bigger now so the vet gave him both at one visit thinking he'd be fine this time and sent me home with pain meds since hes a little baby! haha he ended up having an allergic reaction to the shots. I didnt have to take him in but his swelled up shut and he had hives all over his little body! I was a nervous wreck but childrens benedryl worked to get rid of it!

Just to let you know ... I don't know if its true but if your baby is sensative now, have your vet do the next round as 2 seperate shots on 2 seperate days. Makes it easier on these poor tiny ones!

I agree! I always like to be there with the vet. They should be able to do simple things like shots in front of us...:p

I have a little liquid pain med left over from the surgeries my boys have had, and I always give it to them after vaccinations. They do cry when the area is touched and need an evening of TLC. But your Maggie's reactions sounds extreme to me. I'd head for the vets... Good luck. Rhonda

well, after talking to the vet again, they told me some baby asprin should help but if not, to bring her in. I gave it to her and about an hour later, I picked her up and rubbed her tush and she seems to be feeling better. she didn't scream this time. She is resting now..I have her in her travel bag here at work and she seems peaceful. But if she seems too sensitive later on, she will get taken straight to the vet.

I was in there when they did the shots, but I have a huge phobia of needles and could not watch. I know she said she was being wiggly buy I didn't realize that it would cause problems like this or I would have held her myself. I will now better next time :)

thanks again for all of your support. I will keep you posted if anything changes :)

We have found that if myself or My Husband holds ours while the vet gives the shot they remain calm

I am so very sorry that Maggie has a sore bottom. :( It is so distressing when they yelp in pain. Glad to hear that the baby asprin helped. Sending hugs :ghug:

Brissy got her 2nd shots today and she didn't move. I am a nurse so this stuff doesn't bother me. She slept for about 3 hours after and right now she is playing with her toys. Just jumping all over the place. Hurray!!!! I am glad your baby is feeling better. I breaks our heart to see them hurting.

So sorry about the sore bottom. I agree with the idea of always holding them yourself. It's easier on the little guys that way. If she's still crying in another hour or so, I'd take her in for a check and some pain meds.

well, i just woke her up to brush her and me brusing her bottom didn't bother her so I think all is well :)

anybody want to volunteer to brush her for me? :D

shots
 

Vaccinations are not given in the muscle. I am a vet tech and do this every day. Please do not give dogs tylonal. Just give her 1/2 of a plain baby asperine and she should be fine. Sometimes theyjust get sore from the shots, Some of mine do and some don't! Just depends on the dog!!! Hope this helps put your mind at ease.

YES YES..I WAS TOLD THIS TOO!!!:eek: :eek: NO TYLENOL
I let my baby lay on a heating pad low heat it seems to help when they feel badly:

yeah, we did the baby asprin and she is back to her normal self again :) she is doing fabulous :)

thanks again, everyone!!!

So glad to hear that it is nothing major!! Yah for baby aspirin!!

My Doctor will only give one shot a week.... That was alot of going back and fourth but well worth it, we had no problem with the shots!

Is it because of possible liver damage?
