Ok, I have been reading a lot now. I think I still would have allowed for these shots anyway, “just in case”, as he has a questionable puppyhood (unknown time spent with mother, unknown vaccination history before around 4 months of age when he was found in the bushes). I do think Bruno will be okay (growling at everything is over, he is calmer (as in not being “distressed” by everything enough to growl) and playful). No lumps or any unusual marks at shot sites. No sign of pain. I will, however, rally as hard as possible to skip shots at LEAST until 2017. I don’t see a need as I believe his body will respond properly, and next year I plan to check with titers regardless of the cost (I will save a dollar a day if I have to, I should have at least 360 of them suckers to give to titers). So yeah… I will still watch Bruno for the next 3 days, but I think and hope all will be well. We all do what we think is best at the time, and with him being my first-ever pet (discounting the one I “had” for 2 weeks at age 11), I do my best to learn as I go.
Thank you all for all the help – it is so much appreciated! 🙂
