My puppy had seizures after vaccination. Should I consider euthanasia?

Question

My puppy is 2 months I got him vaccinatied and after few hours he started having fits and we got him treated he says there are only 10% chances of surviving in this case if he doesn't get well. He says that we should give him shot that he could go painless. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | 2 months and 17 days old

I'm so sorry this is happening to Ammy. Seizures can occasionally occur as part of an anaphylactic reaction to a vaccine. Depending on her other symptoms it's possible that the seizures are unrelated as well, and it is possible that she has an underlying neurologic condition. It's difficult to give specific advice since I am unable to fully evaluate Ammy, but if your vet thinks there is only a 10% chance of her surviving this is not good. Euthanasia may be the most humane option. If you're still not sure you can talk to your vet about specifics, or you may want to decide on a period of time during which to offer supportive care (say, 12-24 hours) and if Ammy has still not improved consider euthanasia at that point.
