Dr. Apple said in the future, if I will get her vaccinated again, he will treat her differently, such as giving her a steroid shot before the vaccine. And Rita is better than ever!

I'm rather surprised they suggested a steroid injection in conjunction with a vaccination, as they tend to interfere with the body's immune response to the vaccine possibly causing it to be less effective. Normally at work we have been known to premedicate with Benadryl, and for more severe reactions we require the pet be dropped off and stay the afternoon they are vaccinated for observation.
