This dog's face is massively swollen, causing breathing problems. The cause is an intense allergic reaction. Dogs can get allergic reactions from bee stings, plants, and even from vaccinations. This dog had an allergic reaction to a vaccination given at MoorparkVet. Fortunately, we noticed this immediately and we were able to reverse the reaction with an IV injection.
Sadly, pets who get vaccines at mobile clinics and pet shops may have life-threatening allergic reactions, too. Unforturnately, when there are no veterinarians present or emergency treatments available a pet can die. While these reactions are uncommon they are serious and need immediate medical care.
