Vaccine Reactions

Just a reminder for everyone, vaccine reactions can occur after any vaccine is given. Unfortunately, the smaller the dog the more likely we are to have a vaccine if multiple vaccines injections are given at the same time. This risk can be reduced if you will spread the injections apart by 2 or 3 weeks.
Reactions can be as mild as a being a bit lethargic or as severe as an acute anaphylaxis. Delayed onset reactions like AutoImmune Hemolytic Anemia has also been associated as a vaccine reaction.
If you do a blood titer you may be able to reduce the number of vaccines you will be giving your pet and thereby reduce the risk of reaction.

Be sure to talk to you veterinarian or ask us at the clinic if you would like more information.
