Vaccinations.

So my little boy is now 3 months and went for his 2nd vaccination and started heartworm prevention. He is such a good pup when taken to the vets. Unfortunately he is now being monitored as he may have had an alergic reaction to the vaccination. Bascially, he has had horrible diahorrea since the needles, so has now been given another needle, an antihistamine which has seemed to improve his mood and belly. Just thought I would share as this is rare but apparently can happen occasionally.

Yes, it is rare but can happen, unfortunately. Have you considered a holistic regime of vaccinations?

If you're interested I can get a link for you to have a look at.

Thanks for posting, I'm sure others would be interested too. It pays to have as much information as possible on things like this just incase someone else has a similar experience.

Here's the one I know of, although there are probably more. Just email them for advice on which one to use...

I don't vaccinate at all after puppy jabs and first year booster.

But if your dog picks up the toxocara worm he could be responsible for blinding a child.

Still wont vaccinate sorry, plus i avoid letting especially Chance near kids. Too many risks of over vaccinating for my liking, even with doing it every 3 years

Oh will add that with not vaccinating i do plan on doing titre testing on the boys instead

Ignore me - vaccinations don't get rid of toxocara - I'm talking out of my backside - sorry! I'm soooo embarrassed!

I must admit I've thought about that.

Don't worry mrs everyone has their own opinions anyway >< so'all good

Well i've asked my insurance and they are still covered bar what you vaccinate against obviously, but yer Chance is having a booster in august and Harvs had his, but i won't be giving anyway unless they need it, on the titre results

Thanks for the advice Caryll. After getting the antihistamine shot he was fine... Pretty random and still unsure of what might happen next time. Will do some research
