I'm sorry Nancy, I suppose I should keep records but I don't. I think
it was Ft. Dodge for the WNV but cant' remember for sure. Mine were
fine tho--none of the vaccines gave them any problems at all. Like
Janice, I also let mine rest the day of and after vaxing. They might
have been a bit subdued but nothing out of the ordinary.

Could it have been that the people giving the vaccines at the boarding
facility didn't really know how/where to properly give a vaccine? If
they injected into a blood vessel that might have caused a reaction,
if not even a dangerous one. I did hit a vessel on one of the vaccines
I gave this year--when I got blood back into the syringe I ended up
throwing out the vaccine and buying a new one. There was too much
blood in the syringe to try for a second hit safely.
