Sue,

Cooper had exactly the same thing happen from Fervac. I also had to give
CPR, give him a dose of epinephrine, and then rushed him to the emergency
vet. Within a couple days, he seemed to be fine.
I don't want to worry you too much but here's something you need to keep in
mind. Six months after Cooper's incident, he developed heart problems.
This is a common side-effect for severe reactions. Cooper required Enacard
and Digoxin to control the problem. We also gave him 10 mg of Co-Q10 daily.
