Today Cali had to go for her third round of shots. The vet asked if I wanted to do something extra, which I of course forget the name, but it's something that if contracted by the dog, humans can get. Since I'm pregnant, I didn't think twice and immediately said YES. While I don't regret having Cali get the shot, I do regret the outcome...
After sleeping for about 3 hours, I noticed she had a red lump at one of the injection sites. I called the vet and they told me the doctor wasn't worried and to just clean it with hydrogen peroxide and put ice on it. Well, the ice pack last about 3 minutes before she kept trying to bite the bag.
However, her personality was still in tact and she seemed fine, so I put her in her crate and went to the gym. When I got back, took both dogs out, and settled down for a snack the two started to play in their usual ways. However, I noticed something wasn't right... Cali had bumps on her and the more I stared the more they appeared. I immediately called the vet and they said to bring her in right away-- she was having an allergic reaction to her vaccinations. An hour and a half after arriving at the vets, she was released after two shots and being monitored. Through it all she never once gave any indication that something was wrong.. such a sweetie.
Luckily, she was 95% hive free and ready to watch 'Christmas at Rockefeller Center' (hence the reflection in her right eye) with the entire fam. Such a trooper.
