This is Spencer. He was recently in for vaccines, as part of his puppy package. 💉 Less than an hour after his appointment, however, his owner noticed that his face was becoming increasingly swollen!
Swelling of the face is one of many indicators that a pet may be having a vaccine reaction; other symptoms can include vomiting, difficulty breathing, lethargy, and fever.
Thankfully, Spencer’s owners caught his reaction quickly and brought him right back to our clinic, where Dr. Rivera administered medications to assist in bringing down his swelling and for any allergic reaction. 💊 His temperature was thankfully normal, and his energy was completely fine. 🌡️🤩
Spencer made a complete recovery, and the staff also had a great time cuddling him and giving him lots of attention and kisses. 🤩🤗
His story is an example of why it is imperative to monitor your pet after they receive any vaccines, and to bring them to your vet if you see any signs of a reaction.
