As some of you may know Charlie eventually had his 1st vaccination on tuesday :D He seems to have been ok, but yesterday he seemed to have a little bit of an upset tummy/runs :( today though it seems worse he keeps trying to go and all that happens is a squirty sound and little blobs that look like they have blood in, he also had one that was almost like tar :yikes :yikes
Please can someone put my mind at rest or tell me if he needs the vet again
 
I wouldn't be happy with this, he may have had a reaction, ring the vet, I hate vaccinations especially in Cavaliers, and if I have ever needed them to be done I request it in the hind leg bottom area, and I leave as late as possible ideally not before 20/24 wks. You can still easily socialise a puppy without having had it's vac's if thats a main worry here.

The neck area is a very sensitive topic with myself due to the SM issues, I always try to use alternative treatments. I feel and others do agree, that we over vaccinate here....just my own thoughts and big worries folks! :)

Poor Charlie! Whenever it's a puppy with diarrhea, it is always better to see the vet without delay. Puppies can get dehydrated so easily. Hope Charlie feels better soon! Please keep us updated. :flwr:

I agree. There is no need to vaccinate every year. But obedience clubs insist on it so what can you do? I get very frustrated with it. Especially as I have friends that have had dogs with the very diseases they are innoculated against. so what does that tell you?
 
Have just phoned the vets and she said to give him prescription food which I have to go and collect, that it's not a side effect from the vacine as this happens usually within the first 30 mins of having it, and if he continues to have blood in his poop to collect a sample and take it to her, she said it could possibly be some kind of worms that arn't being attacked by the frontline that he had 2/3 weeks ago.
I feel a little better but would like to get to the bottom of this.

Is the general feeling then that we shouldn't vaccinate? or if we do to have it in the hind/bum area?
How do we take them out on leads etc without them picking something up :?
 
We were not going to have the older twos boosters this year, I really trust my vet Julian and he said that really not enough tests have been carried out on whether to vaccine or not - you could take blood and test for each individual disease, and have single injections for each but probably did more harm than good - we decided to go for boosters each year.

For the worms we have Drontal tablets - have never used anything else. For fleas, etc. we use Frontline.

We had Royal Cannin Sensitive when ours had upset tummies, the stools had blood in them with a mucus...
 
I'm all confused :sl*p:
This was Charlie's first ever vaccine, not booster, he's only 13 weeks and I thought that they had to have them before they could go out and mix with other dogs etc, are people saying that they sometimes do more harm than good and that they are not neccesary???
If this is the case i know that charlie would really benefit from being outside and mixing but obviously don't want him to come to any harm :?
 
Sorry didn't mean to confuse you - they have two injections, one at 9 weeks and one at 12 (used to be 12 and 15). Then there are boosters once a year after that. :oops:
 
Training clubs, agility clubs and boarding kennels all in my area in the U.K. are happy to take dogs using nosodes as are P.A.T dogs now as well.

Selina can you use these instead?

Alison, Wilts, U.k.
 
For any of you in the U.K interested in nosodes instead of vaccinations here is where I get mine from... also remedies for many other problems.... :flwr:

www.gentletouchremedies.co.uk

have a read, it's food for thought.....he gives a 1st class pay on return service and always returns answers to all questions fast by e-mail.

Right then here goes!!!

if you have never used nosodes before you have to start at the beginning and then do boosters afterwards....you do the full course!

I use...

Homoeopathic Complete Canine Vacc + Kennel Cough Nosode 30c.

Give 1 pill twice per day for 3 days then 1 pill per week for 6 wks.

THEN...the booster dose every 12 months after this is 1 pill twice per day for 3 days...

EASY!!! it wasn't very expensive about £5-6, for the full course and booster.

This combination covers them for Hard pad, Distemper, Parvo virus, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Bordetellosis (Kennel cough)


Claire, you will need to do the full course as above, then do the booster dose yearly.

Alison, wilts, U.K.
 
No I don't...but if it's a problem getting this there PM me, we could try to sort something out. I would have to find out if it's suitable for shipping/posting etc. :flwr:

I had Holly vaccinated this year- though I tend to go pretty much 16-18 months before the booster. I take it I need to wait til the 12 months have elapsed before I could do this with Holly?
 
Yes Lisa, :flwr:

wait until you are about ready to do the booster at 12 months and then start the whole new course.

All details and a record card get sent with the tabs so you can keep all your own records at home easily. Most insurance companies are happy with you using them as well now, just give them a bell to let them know.

The tabs are very tiny, about the size of the little glass balls on the sewing pins, mine don't even notice them, they have no smell etc.

Have just checked the site, they do ship overseas but require payment before shipping....details at the very bottom of the page, should be good for the U.S and Australia then!
