Took Koa in today to get his boosters (he's just over 14 months / ~65 pounds)... He got distemper, lepto & kennel cough (nasal). Now that I've been googling I see that I should have had them wait in beween (I had no idea - I know now).
Here's the timeline:
5:00pm - Shots
6:30pm - Dinner as normal
8:45-9:00pm - Approx - vomits first time - only food, minimal liquid. Vomits again maybe 20 minutes later. Still mostly food. Called ER vet. She said that some nausea is normal in getting multiple vaccines at once and to call back if it becomes excessive. Gave Koa some water to try and keep from dehydration.
9:20pm - Run to the store, ER vet said that Benadryl can also help a bit with nausea (I had no idea, this sounds weird to me). But since my vet said I could give him Benadryl as well in case of swelling, I figure it can't hurt.
9:30pm - Get home. He's vomited twice more, these times more liquidy. I'm thinking that I gave him a tad too much water and it caused the nausea to make him vomit again. Force feed him 1.5 Benadryl pills.
Now - 10:15 - hasn't vomited since. Now sleeping on the couch. Seemed to be muscle trembling more than normal as he fell asleep, but I might just be paranoid at the moment. He's not trembling now that he's sleeping.
Is he just having a reaction to more than one at a time? He did not react to either when he initially got them as a pup, maybe that's why the vet thought we were okay to give them together, I have no idea. I do remember that we got them at slightly different times the first time around.
