Pixie has fever.She had her vaccinations 4 days ago and the vet said she might get fever....I was so worried last night,I didn't sleep much!Today she is a little better but still her little body is warm!
Aww the poor lil girl. Just like our kids you know. Its sad to see them when they don't feel good you just want to cuddle with them, and want them better.
About the water, if she'll drink it off teh floor is there any way you could get like a saucer or something really shallow? She might take to that a bit better.

I really hate all the shots that the vets make us have. Small dogs get such reactions to these. When Rosie had her distemper booster she was in such pain for about 8 hours afterwards. There is so much pressure on us to do this yearly it annoys me. She can now have rabies every 3 years (as she has had her first booster shot) but there is definitely information available that says most shots last at least three years. Rosie doesn't go out much at all so I am definitely going to talk to the vet about not having all the other things yearly. I have printed a lot out about this from the internet.
