Poor Hattie! It’s possible the vaccines are causing a reaction. It could also be related to any dewormers she may have received or it could be unrelated entirely. I recommend to play it safe and have her examined by the veterinarian today. If they suspect a vaccine reaction, they may adjust her protocol in the future to try to avoid this from happening. I hope she starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
