Ali was given vaccines and a heartworm injection that lasts for six months. Not quite two hours later, the owner brought him back because he was having a reaction showing hives and redness. Dr Gessner and Dr Knutzen are both experienced ER doctors and immediately gave him a diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and a dexamethasone (steroid) injection. Within 30 minutes after treatment, he was showing great improvement and slowly returning to normal. The picture on the left was before and the picture on the right was during his reaction. Although reactions to vaccines and/or heartworm injections are rare, it is still possible and therefore imperative for an owner to monitor their pet closely for 12-24 hours afterward.
You can see the hives and redness on Ali during a reaction to the vaccines and/or heartworm injection he was given. This was about 30 minutes after treatment with injections to reverse the reaction.
Ali after treatment for his reaction to vaccines and a heartworm injection. You can see the swelling and redness in his face had improved dramatically, while the hives on his body were still slightly noticeable. We are so glad Ali started feeling better quickly!
