My 8-week-old Great Dane puppy was accidentally given a 2 boosters shoots with in 48hrs. Unfortunately our breeder didn’t give us the correct information when we picked him up. We took him to our vet the next morning who then gave him the boosters that he got 2 days before. I’m so worried about him. He’s been sleeping a lot, but that is typical of a puppy. He didn’t eat his lunch yesterday and he didn’t want to eat his breakfast this morning. Has this happened to anyone? How harmful can this be for him? What should I expect?

You ought to call your vet and explain what happened and they will tell you just what to expect.. or if it is dangerous..

Yikes!! He may be fine but I agree call the vet anyway especially if there is any changes in him - sometimes they do get a bit more sleepy but vaccine reactions can happen immediately or have long term effects. Make sure he is not lethargic, or struggling to get up/walk. Bad breeder for not providing you with all the correct past medical history and dates. I would ask that breeder to pay for part of that vet visit and if anything goes wrong they should compensate you for any incurred vet bills.

Should your pup become ill you might want to look into speaking with a homeopathic vet. I know they have some remedies that can reverse the effects of vacc reactions.

Best of luck, hope your pup is fine
