Hi
I found this on the net about puppy shots.
http://www.dog-obedience-training-review.com/puppy-shots.html
Uticaria is a moderate reaction of the skin and is exhibited as hives, rapid
swelling and redness of the lips, around the eyes, and in the neck region. It
is usually very itchy. Uticaria is the most common reaction in dogs and should
be treated by your veterinarian immediately. In most cases of uticaria, you
will see the symptoms soon after vaccination, often shortly after the puppy
arrives home. Your vet will treat your puppy with an oral antihistamine such as
Benadryl and with injectable corticosteroids.
A puppy can be vaccinated for Parvovirus as early as 5 weeks. A combination
vaccine (5-way) should be given at 6 and 9 weeks. At 12 and 15 weeks of age
your puppy will need another combination vaccine, possibly a 7-way, as well as
a rabies vaccine. Adult dogs will also require a booster shot once a year.
The most severe reaction to dog vaccines is anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a
severe and sudden reaction that produces breathing difficulties due to swelling
of the larynx. Other symptoms include sudden onset of vomiting, diarrhea,
staggering, seizures and cardiovascular collapse. It is important to remember
that these symptoms will occur quickly, usually before leaving the vet's office
and when the puppy has had at least one previous exposure to the vaccine. While
anaphylaxis is life threatening, it doesn't occur very often. Talk to your
veterinarian about your concerns and be alert and watchful after your puppy is
vaccinated.

8 weeks is too young for a shot, and I am surprised that the Vet did it. He is
having a bad reaction to the shot, and I would call the Vet and see about
bringing him in as soon as possible. In the meantime Gloria gave a very good
suggestion...to buy some NutraCal at a pet shop. It is full of vitamins and
minerals and helps their appetite, it is loaded with electrolytes and will
also prevent his sugar level from dropping. If you can't give him that right
away, then try a little Gatorade. But don't give to much Gatorade since it has
a high sugar content. Also tiny pieces of boiled chicken and cooked white rice
is good for the diarrhea. The diarrhea could be from the worms dying off. Was
he tested positive for worms before they gave him the meds? Puppies can
dehydrate very quickly when they have a bad stomach so it is important to give
him a lot of fluids along with the NutraCal, and any type of food that he will
except, even jar baby food
will work.

What shots did he get? There is a 5 in 1, and a 7 in 1, and the rabies. Did
they give him the rabies with one of the combo shots?
