Well..... I've been at the vet since 6:00am this morning....
I woke up at 5:00am as usually - NO JACK!
I called for him, and I heard him wimpering under the bed...
I picked him up and he was ON FIRE, my little boy was sooooo hot!!!
I woke Nick up! We both sat on the bed looking at our little boy struggle to breath.
I reached out my hand to him, he licked my finger with all the energy his little body had, then he laid his head down!!
I called the 24hour vet - they said to bring him in......
I get to the vet and they take his temp. = 106.2
The vet injects cold saline under his skin to bring down his temp.... we wait it goes down to 104.6 - he is still too hot..... it's 7:30am
The vet asks me what happend the day before, I inform her that Jack had his last set of booster shots and a rabie shot.
She thinks my baby had a bad reaction to the rabie shot...
Finally at 9:00am his temp is undercontrol - 102.3.... (I have to check it every hour to make sure it does not go over 103.5) Jack doesn't not enjoy the butt check!!!
The vet also gave him an FIV test (SCARED ME!) and he tested negative.
We've been home since 1:00pm and Jack has eaten some baby food (vet said he could have this!) he is still not drinking water, As long as his temp stays low and he's eating he should be okay.....
Cooper is very sad, her little buddy is sitting in mommy lap and he doesn't want to play....
THIS IS NO APRIL FOOLS JOKE..... I've been crying all morning (I'm finally under control)
okay done venting.... I'm not checking out information on rabies and side effects on the internet.....
If anyone has any info I would appreciate it (MOD's sorry if I put this in the wrong forum!!!)
