>Hi Nancy,
>I have Oliver back and he's o.k.  They gave him a Benadryl injection,two
>treatments of Dexamethasone S.P.  (Whatever that is), Fluid therapy
>(Subcutaneous)pe, and an Epinephrine injection.  That plus a half day
>hospitalization cost me forty-one dollars.  I considered it a bargain
>compared to loosing him.  I did mean to say distemper, not tetanus.  Hehad
>the reaction to Fervac-d.  He had a rabies shot two weeks prior tothis,
>Imrab-3.  The Fervac-d was injected into his rump and not in hisneck.
>Twenty-five minutes after the injection he started vomiting,became very
>lethargic, his eye's glazed over, and he started wimpering(I don't know how
>to describe it better than that).  When I got homeyesterday I went on the
>internet to the VetNet and checked out what Icould.  Seems like the Vet did
>all the right things.  Some controversy onwhat type of vaccination to use on
>the net but Fervac-d is the only one approved by (?).
