Hi everyone,
I'm hoping you can offer some advice. I took my 1 year old F3 female Savannah to the vet yesterday for her annual exam and rabies/distemper. She was in good health when she went in, but since the appointment has been very lame and has barely moved from her spot. She is very slow moving and doesn't appear interested in eating or moving. I called the vet and they said some soreness is normal, and to keep an eye on her.
I'm wondering if this is common or a possible reaction to the vaccines?
Note when she had her first rabies and distemper before coming to me from the breeder a year ago, she apparently got the shots too young and a lump appeared that took a month before going away on its own. I was ultimately told that's a not so uncommon reaction when they are too young.
Thanks, I'm worried and hoping it's nothing but not sure what to do next.
Steve
