vaccine round 1

Dave received his vaccine today. It was a relatively short visit, he went in at noon and was done by 2:30. He had a normal physical exam and normal bloodwork, but lost a little more weight, about a quarter of a pound. Then he got two shots - one on the right hip/butt area that was the vaccine, and one on the left that was a control. The vet said that there aren't too many side effects, since it's created using his blood and lymph node, but we'll be on the look out for a puffy face, itching and swelling of the injection sites. They really do prepare it that morning - they called to make sure we were coming, and said that the researcher walks it to them as soon as it's ready. Amazing...

We go back on July 28th for round 2.
