Last year we had our Toy Terrier vaccinated. It was 2 injections at once - Eurican and Eurican DHPPI2. Before the injections, the dog had been given an antihistamine. In about an hour after the injections, the dog developed a strong allergic reaction. His muzzle, eyes and ears got swollen and were itching. The problem was solved with another antihistamine medicine.
My question is, should we repeat the injections this year too? How high are the chances of another anaphylactic shock? Thanks in advance.

however, a good vet will obviously have that on their records. even so, if you want to repeat the shots then make sure to remind the vet of what happened and point it out on their records.
as for repeating the shot, i dont really know. im not familiar, could you explain to me what eurican shots are? (ive never had to take my dog to the vet personallyt, as he belongs to my boyfriend and had his shots updated with just him) is it a shot that is necessary every year?
The vet said Eurican was against rabies and Eurican DHPPI2 was against distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus and parainfluenza. He also mentioned some other diseases but I don't remember. As long as I'm not mistaken they are not annual shots but those that need to be done several times while the dog is young.
anyway, usually they arent annual.. Im not sure how often you need to get them for puppies. by all means, rabies and distemper shots are sooo important! Just talk to your vet to make sure everything will be okay for the puppy! Maybe the dog had the reaction because it got them both at once? was it their first time gettign the shots? that could also be the reason... maybe next time will be better!
Better speak to your vet about another vaccine or don't do any injections at all anymore.
