Wise Old Thumper
I did the rather stupid thing and even though I knew the risks and what a bad injection it is, I got Lois vaccinated on Thursday using Cylap.
I had asked for lapinject but they informed me (after much looking on the internet as they didn't seem to have a clue) that as it only came in doses of five I would have to pay for 5x the vaccination cost. It worked out at about £80 which I literally couldn't afford. I phoned round a few other vets but the only one who would use it is about a 30minute drive and as I don't drive I would have to rely on my parents who were on holiday. I didn't want to leave her until they came back so I just took the plunge and hope she wouldn't have a reaction like Leo.
Anyway she had the injection on Thursday, had a limp on Friday and now it looks like someone has poured acid on the nape of her neck. I feel so guilty that I did this to her knowing the risks. I just hoped that as Archie & Blanche were completely fine after it maybe I'd be lucky with her.
I have some Vets Gold from when Leo had a similar reaction but it jut seems to be an overpriced sudocrem. However, I've been putting that on her four times a day.
I just wanted to moan really, I feel terrible. She absolutely hates me now as well, as soon as she sees me she runs away and stamps her foot. The poor thing had a rubbish life before she came to the rescue centre, I assured them that I would give her all the love and care she needs and now look what I've done to her.
