|  Delaying Vaccinations on the tiny tiny ones? When I brought home Lola (maltipoo) she was 9 weeks. Tiny but eating dry kibble just fine. The Baby Dog Ultra Nutro. She was eating well Until I took her to the vet for shots. She stopped eating entirely and I had to hand feed her for 2 weeks and I am Sure it was as a reaction, side effect of the shots! Has anyone experienced this. I think if I ever have a puppy that small I may consider delaying vaccinations.In fact I KNOW I would wait longer. Just keep the puppy inside and away from any exposures. The shots really set my little one back. |

| I don't have any information to help you with the vaccination questions. But, I did want to caution you about feeding Nutro. It is known to have caused severe illness and deaths in many dogs. Please google it, and please DON'T feed Nutro!! Also, congratulations on your new baby!!!

| How much did she weigh at 9 weeks and what shots did she get? Some puppies do have reactions to the shots. She could have a underlining problem, like a liver shunt, and her body just was not able to handle the shots. Is she doing okay now? |

Nine weeks is wy too early for any pup to be vaccinated......I'm always suspect as to why a vet would still be doing vaccines on such a young pup and why they are doing why vets are still doing so many even though plenty of studies have been done on overvaccination.....As you can see by this study below the longer you wait to take the pup in the better it is for him. As long as the pup has moms natural immunity in his system the vaccine will not replicate, it is blocked from doing so. Therefore the pup was subjected to unnecessary shots which exposed him to contaminants and preservatives in the vaccine . Preservatives as in mercury, msg, and formaldehyde just to name a few, which puts the pup at risk greatof adverse reactions. Not to mention it stresses his immature immune system, which makes him more vulnerable to diseases as in auto immune diseases, cancers, thyroid problems etc.etc.etc....... In the August 2008 issue of The Whole Dog Journal, Dr. Ronald Schultz reports in an article entitled, Vaccinations 101, by Lisa Rodier, "Research shows that less than 50 percent of puppies will respond at six weeks; 75 percent at nine weeks; 90 percent at 12 weeks; and by 14 to16 weeks, close to 100 percent will respond. " As you can see the vaccine will take better waiting til he's at least 14-16 weeks old. And even then the vaccines should be done only one vaccine at a visit and each one spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Never do a combo vaccine, and never do a rabies at the same time as a core vaccine... There is a lot of info out there if you google "overvaccination". Here are just a couple of articles to read.... Vaccinating Dogs: What Your Vet Hasn't Told You Vaccination Danger - Dog Health Report - Dog Care - Dog Health Problems Solved! Here is Dr. Jean Dodds schedule if you want a chart to go by til you do some research yourself.... Vaccination Schedule Recommendations For Dogs

|  Oh yeah.. she is fine now. This was a long time ago. She is perfectly healthy now I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this. Grrr I did start out on BabyDog30 .. I believe it is by Nutro. They are on Wellness now, or Blue Wilderness (grain free) I mix it up but only on the Very high quality kibbles that I learned about on dog food ratings website I also make home made with mostly meats, few veggies, little brown rice mostly meat They get raw occasionally esp the red meat. They don't really care for any other raw meat. They get egg or a tad of cottage cheese now and then. They are very spoiled : |
