i wud definetely get it checked with a vet. try looking for yourself at the leg. it may be just a bee sting? plz answear mi question IM IN SEARINGG PAINNNNNN!!

Answer 2

If there is any kind of reaction to a site where an I.V. injections you should have you vet take a look. An infection at I,V. injection site could cause  systemic infection as well. It maybe just sore, but a systemic infection can pop up quick and can be life threatening. I wouldn't take a chance.

Don't give pain killers to your dog with out your vets okay. Many are toxic to dogs, and some can inhibit clotting.

Answer 3

NO.  Dogs have a very high pain tolerance & do not need pain meds unless it is something serious.  A needle stick is not painful for dogs.  She will be fine.

Answer 4

You should call your vet. My dogs over the years have had blood tests and there was never a reaction to it. Check with your vet.
