Over a month old, kept vomiting after vaccination, now barely moves – only breathing remains
Your dog may be having a vaccine allergic reaction - some dogs react with rapid breathing, swelling, itchy skin, and vomiting, and severe allergy can cause breathing difficulty or shock. The dog's state is poor; take it to a vet promptly for desensitization and check antibody levels, and if insufficient, revaccinate appropriately.
One-and-a-half-month kitten foamed at the mouth and vomited; taken for a shot and meds, no improvement, then diagnosed with panleukopenia at the vet, on IV fluids for 7-8 days, still eats nothing, slight bloody stool, empty gut
Panleukopenia attacks the gut lining and causes loss of appetite and ongoing vomiting, so early treatment withholds food and uses IV nutrition to prevent dehydration. The vet gives symptomatic care plus leukocyte boosters, interferon, and panleukopenia monoclonal antibody. Once vomiting, diarrhea, and blood stop, feed small amounts of liquid high-protein food and appetite-stimulating injections.
When can a Corgi puppy be bathed?
Bathe puppies only after vaccination and antibody development, since low resistance raises infection risk. If unvaccinated but dirty, wipe with a warm towel and dry thoroughly.
What happens if a Poodle only gets one vaccine shot?
One shot may not produce enough antibodies, so the Poodle can still catch distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, or rabies - any of which can be fatal. Puppies need the first shot at 6-8 weeks, then every 21 days for 3 shots, plus an annual booster.
When can a puppy be taken outside?
Take a puppy out only after vaccination and antibody testing about a week later; keep it in until then since immunity dips post-vaccine.
What should I watch after my dog gets a shot?
After a shot, stay at the clinic 30 minutes to watch for allergy. Don't bathe for a week to avoid infection or weak antibodies; keep it warm as resistance dips; add nutrition to recover.
Three days after the first vaccine I bathed it, then the next day it had a bit of cough and sneezing
Dog vaccines are modified-live vaccines, and within a week after vaccination the dog's resistance drops. So during this period, it is not recommended to walk the dog outside or to bathe it. Bathing at this time easily gives the dog a cold. If this happens, keep the dog warm promptly and give it some pet cold medicine, such as a product containing amoxicillin clavulanate. In addition, one week after vaccination, take the dog to a veterinary clinic to check whether its antibody level is adequate; if not, the dog needs another vaccine dose.
Why does a dog need multiple vaccine shots?
The first course is three shots, 21 days apart, to build antibodies gradually. The first stimulates a weak response, the second raises levels, and the third gives the best, longest protection. Test antibody levels after; continue if insufficient.
What causes vaccine failure in dogs?
Vaccine failure can result from genetics, maternal antibody interference, poor nutrition, or improper vaccination. Congenital immune deficiency, maternal antibodies (vaccinate after 45 days), nutrient lack, or bad vaccine quality and technique all contribute.
What could be causing stool like this?
Vomiting and diarrhea together may signal hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, gastric ulcer, or parvovirus/coronavirus infection. If unvaccinated, get a blood count, fecal exam, and virus screen at once. Parvo needs antiviral serum and interferon plus supportive meds; severe cases may need hospitalization for fluids.
