My dog screamed after Cerenia shot. Is it painful or does it burn?

I am guessing the injection given was Cerenia. Side effects are uncommon with the use of this medication, but the most commonly noted side effects were: drooling, drowsiness, diarrhea, and appetite loss. I would be worried and I think he needs to get back to the vet. Were any x-rays or blood testing done? If not, that needs to be done to figure out what is going on. This sounds like it could be something more serious going on. If it was just a simple upset stomach he should be feeling MUCH better after that injection and not sleeping for 10 hours. I would be worried.

Cerenia is an excellent medication, but yes sometimes a dog can still be sick while on it. If you are very worried about Lily, leaving her at the vet is the best thing you can have done. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

The injection is called Cerenia, if this didn't help then you must take him back to the vet for a blood test and xray/ulrasound, he might be suffering from either a foreign body in the GI tract or severe gastrointestinal infection.

Cerenia is not a vaccine. It is an antiemetic medication to curb vomiting and reduce some pain/inflammation in the GI tract. He is not too young to receive it. Your vet would not have injected the medication if they thought it would harm your puppy. Hope this answers your question.

It is used as an antiemetic, to prevent or stop vomiting episodes or possible nausea. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

These are not side effects of the medications, these are symptoms related directly to the medical condition that caused the vomiting in the first place. if by tomorrow you see no improvement you will need to take her back to the vet.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Orio. Cernia is an anti-nausea medication. This is given under the skin and it tends to sting some dogs when administered. He may have had an antibiotic injection in the muscle. This can cause some muscle pain. Both of these tend to cause mild discomfort that should resolve with time. If not, he needs to see his veterinarian again. I hope this information helps!
