His fever is gone and his white blood count is fine. We think it was a reaction to the shots or a reaction to heartgard worm medicine.
I'm glad I found this site, it has so much useful advice. Thanks again and let's keep our fingers crossed. |
Did he get heartworm medication at the same time he got the shots?
I'm sure you won't make the same mistake again after this experience, but in the future always separate the shots by a couple of weeks (never rabies along with another booster) and always give the heartworm and flea medications separately. I do Lady's heartworm the first of every month and her flea treatment on the 15th.
I'm glad he is starting to improve.
