Rein had an allergic reaction to the first booster she got after we brought her
home. Scared me too! She was sleepy but the thing that got our attention
right away was that she got bumps on her otherwise smooth little head, and her
eyes swelled. We rushed her back to the vet and he gave her an antihistmine
shot. She was back to normal in a very short amount of time after that. Our
vet made note of the reaction on her chart, so when she got her next shot, he
gave her the antihistamine shot with it. She didn't have any problems that
time. The vet even called us at home that night to make sure she was okay. I
was very surprised at his phone call, and pleased that he cared enough to
check on her!
Maybe an antihistamine would help Pebbles. I'm sure your vet will be able to
tell you. Hope she does better after the next shot!

Pebbles was 8 wks old Thursday so I gave her the first booster shot
yesterday. She was a good girl and didn't even yelp! Things went downhill from
there as she was lethargic and sleepy all day long! I have been giving assorted
critters (including snakes,cats,dogs,horses,cows etc) for over 30 years and
this was a first for me! She is fine today but sure had me worried yesterday. I
will be consulting with my vet before the next shot for sure! Anyone else have
this type of reaction?
Cindy Lynn and the now Perky Pebbles!
