My dog is sick :(

You need to contact the vet NOW!!! The dog has had a adverse reaction to the shot and you need to know what to do to deal with it!!! You did right by bringing him back into the house and making him comfortable. Make sure that Max is eating (even if you have to feed him by hand) and make sure he is getting fluids if he can't drink from a bowl then slip ice into his mouth. Don't hate your Mom for what she did. Our dogs and cats have certain shots that they have to have to keep them healthy. Unfortunately, like humans, animals can have reactions to shots. When this happens we need to take extra care of them and make sure that they are warm and comfortable. Your Mom didn't think that the reaction was severe enough to keep him in and take extra care of him. But it was ignorance not meanness that prompted her actions. Forgive her, she isn't mean and didn't do it to be mean. Maybe the Max needed to go to the bathroom. Sometimes the shots will cause the animals to have diarrhea. Right now, the responsible thing to do is to call the vet and find out about the reactions and tell him what is happening with Max. I am praying for you and Max

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear this. :( I hope Max is feeling better soon! I know that my pets are like my babies and I just can't stand it when they are sick or in pain. Max is lucky that he has such a caring "parent", though. If he seems to be getting worse or doesn't improve within a few hours I would suggest calling the veterinarian who gave him the shots, just to see if this sort of reaction is normal and if you can do something about it at home or if you need to take him back in to the vet. If it doesn't hurt him, give him a pet/hug/snuggle from me.

I'm so sorry secretbear. I remember when I got my dog spayed and she was acting weird and all I could think of was that I didn't want anything to happen to her. I had to take her to the vet in the middle of the night because she just kept moving around and I wanted to make sure she was okay. I hope he gets better and if not maybe you should take him to the vets to see if the vets can do something. But other than what you're doing by covering him is good, and make sure to give him lots of love. Good luck!

Nah, he won't die because of that shot. IT's normal for them to act like that due to the effect of it. ONce the effect is gone in 1-2 days time, they will be back like normal. Much as dogs have natural healing capabilities, but they do need medical care as well. Short term shivering and cold, beats long term suffering of something right, secret? I know u care about Max, but he will be fine and now he should be stronger than before

Oh my...I hope Max is ok. It sounds like he is having a reaction to the shot..if he is not better soon, I would call the vet. Maybe they can give him something to counteract the shot. My little dog had a shot in her leg once and got a knot on it. She refused to use her leg and ran around on three legs for over a year. She lost muscle in it too. After a while I started working with her a little everyday and she uses all her legs now and the muscles are built back up. I have been afraid to give another one of those shots again because of it but they really do need their shots. They can get a lot sicker without them. Take care and I hope he is feeling better now.

I would agree, that Max has had an adverse reaction to the vaccination. I know you said he seems to be doing better today, but I would definitely encourage you to call them and let them know Max's reaction. Its important for them to chart it, so that if any future medications are given, they know what signs to look for and how best to take care of him.

If you have the resources take Max to the doctor with a list of what shots he's had recently. It is possible he is having a reaction. That isn't your mother's fault as every once in a while something can go wrong with vaccines.

I hope not either...that would be a bummer. maybe he is just having a reaction to the shots....and hopefully will be better tomorrow...

Poor little Max. Why did your mother do that? Did she have to rush off to work? Doesn't Max have a little fenced in area? I hope your love will make him well.

Oh....I hope your baby will be okay. I just prayed for him. I hate it with someones pet is sick. It is so hard to take. Let me know if he's okay. Probably, one of the shots didn't set with him right. Call the vet and tell them how he's behaving. Maybe they can tell you something to do.

Sometimes animals have a reaction to the vaccinations they get. If he seems to be doing better, than I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just calling the vet and asking them if the reaction was normal will ease your mind. If the vet doesn't think you should ignore it, they'll tell you on the phone to bring him in.

So how is Max now? I hope he is okay and feeling a lot better. My pug was the same way whenever he had his shots. Come to think of it, so is my daughter. But if their energy doesn't seem to go away after a day, then it's one definite sign that something is not right. Sending prayers over to your Max now.

poor dog...hopefully all goes well with him soon...god bless your dog :)

I'm sorry to hear that, this has been 15 hours ago, so i hope that max is feeling better now. Was he like this before when you tried to give him a shot? if he is not, then take him to the vet. I think you really love your dog, it's good to hear that people still care with their pets. update us soon as max is ok.

Oh my God! I hope that Max will be better. Get in touch with the vet as soon as you can. It's the only way you'd know what could be wrong with your dog. I really wish Max better health.

You may hate what your mother did, but actually hate your mother? That's ridiculous. Call the vet and let him know Max's reaction to the shots. He may be allergic.

Hi Secretbear! How old is max? When my dog had her anti rabies shot, she was also not feeling good for about a week. She has a fever and she don't want to eat. Maybe it is beacause of the shot. Hopefully Max will get better, let us pray for your dog.
