hi. i have a 5-month old pug, and his name is terryl. he just had his anti-rabies shot and the problem is my brother, who didnt know that the dog had a vaccine shot, gave him a bath. now, terryl is weak, and not his usual playful self. i went to the vet to have him examined, and the doctor said he was stressed and had a slight fever. terryl had been injected a medicine to ease the fever. but then he had a terrible reaction from the medicine; his face swelled horribly. i brought my puppy back to the vet on that same day and the vet injected something to counter the allergic reaction. it has been a week, he still has an appetite, albeit weak. his medication included prednisone tablet, 5mg, half a tablet once a day up to four days and amoxicillin 1ml, 3 times a day.
i wonder if my baby terryl will ever be the same again. will you give me some advice? i'm really worried. am i giving him the right medicine? what should i have done, and what should i haven't?
