It's crucial to contact your vet immediately if your dog is exhibiting any concerning symptoms after a vaccination.
Here's why:
* Distemper is a serious disease. The vaccine is designed to protect your dog, and any reaction is usually mild and temporary.
* Only your vet can assess the situation. They can determine if the symptoms are related to the vaccine or something else entirely.
* There are safe and effective treatments for vaccine reactions. Your vet can provide the appropriate care for your dog.
Some common, mild side effects of vaccines include:
* Swelling or redness at the injection site.
* Lethargy.
* Loss of appetite.
* Mild fever.
More severe reactions are less common, but if you notice any of the following, seek immediate veterinary attention:
* Excessive swelling or pain at the injection site.
* High fever.
* Seizures.
* Difficulty breathing.
* Facial swelling.
* Loss of coordination.
