Hi My baby Vinny had his ears cropped at ten weeks, and subsequently posted several times. The most recent time; however, the vet's staff said that he needed some second rounds of his initial shots ( he was four months old yesterday).
Now, the problem:
I dropped Vinny off in the morning, as usual, to be taped. My husband picks him up after work. When my husband brought Vinny home at 6:30, he could not stand, and was trembling. I immediately fed him, and he ate, but still wasn't coming out of it. During all of this I'm asking my DH what the vet said...why did they sedate him...how long will it last, etc... Evidently, Vinny was "too wild" to tape and he needed to have "an injection". On the bill, all the shots were listed as to type and fee, but the "injection" was listed as such, with no indication as to what was injected. As I am starting to cry I call the vet, and he says that he gave Vinny Ace and that he should come out of it by the time I go to bed. When I can't stop crying, he reassures me that everything will be fine.
The kicker:
He sends Vinny home with a prescription for Ace orally 10mg. per pill 1-2 AM and PM, prn (as needed).
Needless to say, we are giving benadryl instead. WWYD? The posts fell out day 1, and we have been using breathe right strips to straighten the tips ourselves.
