Dear Diary,
I do not feel well today after getting the rabies and distemper vaccines yesterday. I get a titer blood test annually to check the levels of antibodies of each vaccine in my blood. Usually, the levels are exactly where they should be, so I don't need the yearly vaccines repeated. I just get the 3-year rabies vaccine. We noticed the last time I had the titer test, that I didn't have any of the antibodies for distemper, so I needed to get that shot. Today I am lethargic, didn't want to eat my breakfast (which NEVER happens), and struggled to jump on the couch. Mom was very worried but then remembered that dogs can get flu-like symptoms after vaccines. So, this is where you'll find me today. Joey has a head cold and a cough. He will most likely be on the couch today, too.
Oh, Happy 4th of July.
