Paging Dr. Hillary
Aug. 11th, 2008 04:18 pm...or any other wise pet people...
I took Tallulah for another shot today, this time it was the Lepto shot. The vet said that she wanted me to give the pup some wet food in addition to her dry puppy kibble because there's not a lot of meat on her lil puppy bones. So I stopped at the pet store, got some Nutra Max puppy food, gave Tallulah half a can (which she devoured) and then let her pee outside and put her in the crate so I could go to the mall.
I got home about an hour and a half later, and she's totally lethargic. I took her out to pee and she did, but then she just sat down and didn't want to walk or play. She ignored Kibbles. She just sat in my arms and didn't do much, and the injection site is hurting her.
I called the vet right away and they said she could be lethargic from the shot, and that as long as she's eating I shouldn't be concerned. But she's not due to eat for another hour or so. I did a little internet research on the vaccine, and there are definitely side effects, but it still seems like something I'd opt for her to get (should have done that before, I know).
Anyway, I'm just a little concerned about my wee pup. I'm gonna take her out in few more minutes and see if I can get a rise out of her at all.
