Allergic reaction to vaccinations?
Allergic reaction to vaccinations? General Dog Discussions
My mom's dog hadn't been vaccinated for at least 5 years and I finally argued with her enough to take her in.But today I noticed that she had a spot that looked like she had been chewing on the back of her leg.I know animals can stretch to itch themselves but it was the back of her thigh, so I thought.. you know, she's a big dog, how would she reach back there to bite it??So I took a closer look and there are scabby bumps all over the inner and back part of her thigh.I immediately thought she has an allergic reaction to her vaccinations and got hives.But her vaccs were done Monday, last week. I hope it didn't go unnoticed for that long or is it possible that it just popped up?? I work at a vet's office so I have to check on dogs and puppies sometimes when they get vaccs to make sure, but that's only a course of a couple days and then they go home. So I'm not really sure.She's not a very hairy dog so I easily noticed it from a few feet away.Could it be hives from her vaccs???? The vet is closed on Sundays (tomorrow) so I won't be able to take her anywhere, and if it's not an emergency, I don't think it'd be necessary to call the emergency clinic.I know I sound kind of panicked but I'm honestly not really sure to do, and my mom kind of puts things off so I have to do it for the sake of the dog.Thank you for any answers!
