Question
i took my baby girl to the local shot clinic yesterday for her shots...last night her mouth swelled up and she threw up twice...the throw up was yellow in color...i also found some brown colored throw up on the carpet...her mouth has gone back to normal size but she threw up again on myh bed...it was yellow again...she was a rescue and she had her shots last year and there was no reaction...i had  her given the 6 in 1 shots at the clinic...my older terry poo also had her shots and she is fine...should i be alarmed or is she just having a reaction to the shots?? please help!!!

Answer
Hello Jamie- This can happen sometimes after a immunizations.  Make sure you tell the vet next time you need more shots.  They could break up the shot into 2 injections... Within a few days apart.
Also, you could give a benadryl 25 mg (1) before the vet visit.  This will keep the swelling under control.

Make sure you do give a Benadryl before any injections of this kid.
Talk to you vet about the dosage if you are unsure.


BEST wishes!
