I just hope he's ok. I love him so much and cannot imagine if something bad happened to him. I'll be praying...he'll be okay, we'll get this all taken care of.

Well, whats done is done as far as all the shots he had. I just hope his immune system is not all messed up. Your baby is adorable and he is lucky to have you. I'll be praying for him too. Keep us posted.

oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my

i am no pro at all but i thought this very exact same thing... please keep us posted im praying for your baby!!!

Hey everyone!
Thank you all so much for your prayers & encouragement! The vet was wonderful! His rash turns out to be just a simple puppy rash that will go away on its own.

The loose stool is most likely from the canned food, and since his stools were loose that most likely caused the bleeding. I didn't take a stool sample...

! But we're going back at the beginning of March for his last puppy shot, and I'll take one then. If we have anymore issues with the bleeding though we will be going straight to her with a sample. The vet said she thinks the shots he had were fine and that he is perfectly healthy

!! Thank God!

Oh good, so glad to hear it!~

I bet the loose stool and gas is from the Merrick. I was thinking of trying it, but everyone on another forum said they had the same problem you are having - gas and a loose stool.

I am glad to hear your baby will be okay. I can't imagine what other shots he should get except rabies. Also, FYI, it is recommended that Yorkies NEVER get the lepto shot. I hope your baby makes a full recovery.

MsFamousHepburn · 02-07-2008, 07:20 AM

He's just getting his Rabies shot in March.
That's awful that they gave him a shot he wasn't supposed to have

!
I think he's doing okay, I'll try to find some articles on side effects of Lepto in Yorkies and see if any of them apply to him...or if I can do anything to help him. Thanks for telling me; I can assure you, he'll never get one again!

amandawash · 02-07-2008, 07:32 AM

PLEASE don't let him get another Lepto shot, unless it's very prevelant in your area. It can have such horrible side effects, my hubby is a vet and wont give any of our dogs Lepto, well, we don't vaccinate once a year either (aside from rabies) but please, no more lepto!!

And from my recent experience, take him to the vet asap if he gets diarrhea, they get dehydrated so quickly.

Hope your little baby feels better soon, it's so sad to have a sick puppy.

Why is lepto so bad?

MsFamousHepburn · 02-07-2008, 07:55 AM

Thank you for asking, I was wondering the same thing

.
I didn't want to ask though...

It has been known to kill Yorkies.

It should only be given where the dog is at extreme risk and even then it is a hard choice.

I think this is the vaccine that sent Ellie into shock.

I could've lost her.

MsFamousHepburn · 02-07-2008, 08:12 AM

OMG!
That is HORRIBLE!!!!!
He got it on Jan 22nd...do you think he's okay?
Its been a while, and he seems fine...
Or would it show up later?

It showed up in about 1/2 hour. He is out of the danger of shock now. It is just the long term effects of vaccines that all dogs can get that he could still get..(autoimmune disease, possibly cancer).

The risk of reaction for the lepto vaccine increases each time you give it and I would never consider giving it before 16 weeks (some people say 9). Ellie was 5 years old and this was her first (and only) lepto vaccine.

Corona vaccine isn't necessary. I would try to get out of that one if they are giving it...

MsFamousHepburn · 02-07-2008, 09:15 AM

He was only 11 weeks! Ugh!
He will NEVER get one again!
Thank you guys for telling me Lepto was so awful...I would have never known!
Corona also will not be given if it too is harmful.
