> She now has a steroid shot a few minutes prior to her annual rabies

>>We're not giving her any milk!!!! I still haven't learned (from last
>>fall when I got flamed because I didn't include every detail) that one
>>has to tell a life story on this group!!!

>>Sorry, just venting. I appreciate your response. That is exactly what
>>I needed to know. I have been afraid Hayley might be more susceptible
>>to a vaccine reaction,especially since her aunt died from one (corona)
>>and her cousin almost died from one (lepto). (They didn't have any
>>food allergies). So, Hayely may be at risk from two sources -- food
>> allergy *and* familial tendency. She will just have to stay with the
>>vet and go home with her for the first few days after her next
>>vaccine. No, better yet, I will check her into the intensive care
>>unit at Ohio State so they can watch her!!! (Am I paranoid or what?)

>>Anyway, Hayley was allergic to her MOTHER'S milk so we gave her goat's
>>milk at 3 weeks once someone I knew figured out why she wasn't growing.
>>(The vet and her 2 partners didn't know either -- so she did see a vet!!)
>> Now she is on Science d/d because she can't have any food with
>>milk products and maybe some other foods we haven't isolated yet.

>>Paranoid, neurotic Jenny
>>Are people calling me paranoid behind my back?!
