I headed home (literally two blocks from the vet) and when I pulled up she was drenched with drool. This was not on the to watch for list the vet gave me, so I called him. He said bring her back. I drove right back and when I walked in they grabbed her from me and ran her back to administer benadryl and dex. Their reaction scared me more than the drool for sure. After a bit they brought her out to me. She needs one more booster to finish her puppy shots, any suggestions? She did NOT get a lepto shot, the reaction was from bordetella or distemper (the vet is guessing distemper). The vet said next time for sure I will have to hang out for awhile there, with possible benadryl before the shot. He is concerned because even though her reaction was 'mild' it was very fast. Anyway, THANK YOU. If I had done things differently Luna would have been in trouble!! And you should consider getting shots in the morning, just in case!
