Question
I took my 11 week old puppy and my 1 yr old dog to the vet today for their vaccines and now tonite the puppy had a seziure. could it be from the shots? Did the vet give the wrong shot to the wrong dog? what do i do??

Answer
Sarah -

Take your puppy to the vet to determining what happened. I doubt that the vet gave the puppy the wrong shots because the shots for the puppy and the dog are essentially the same vaccine; the amount administered is also the same for both the adult and the puppy.
