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.
