My poor puppy

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive November 2004: My poor puppy

I have been stressing out over getting his second set of vaccines. So today, I went ahead and took him down to the vet. Well, about 3 hours later I noticed his face swelling and his eyes swelling shut. Poor thing had a bad reaction to his shots. I brought him back in and they gave him some Benadryl, well he threw it all up. Hes only 5lbs so he looks so darn helpless. Gosh, its like having a baby all over again. LOL

Poor puppy.

Next time he needs shots, have them give benadryl beforehand, or you can give it to him at home before his appointment. It makes a world of difference! But I have to say, I think swollen puppy faces are sooo cute, especially on pugs!

When my dog was a puppy, she had a bad reaction to the wormer. She threw up every 5 minutes for 2 hours. I finally took her in to the emergency pet dr. since it was a Saturday. Cost a bunch, but stopped the vomiting.

I never knew animals could have reactions to shots!! Now that I think about it, it does make perfect sense, but I have never heard of it before!! Ya learn something new everyday! I hope your puppy feels better soon!!
