InspectorRex Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Yes they can and if the animal does have a reaction it MUST be reported either by Vet or owner to the governing authority- www.avpma.gov.au is where you can reoprt it and they are very prompt getting back to you What sort of reaction has occurred?

Cavandra Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 tired and stiffness YES very common The Vaccination is injecting disease into your dog, if you have a C3 it is 3 diseases, C4 is 4 diseases, C5 is 5 different diseases..you can imagine what the immune system has to do to "process" this....... I find in my customers that if they have a mild reaction initially, they usually always have a reaction with any subsequent "boosters".........some increase each time in severity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Agree with Cavandra - keep on eye on the pup. If he gets worse than tired, off to the vet. And discuss the reaction with your vet to ensure that the pup does not have a worse reaction the next time. I once saw 3 maltese of a litter of 4 go downhill, and despite vet treatment, all die the day following the vaccinations. Quite a few breeders on here have had pups die following vaccinations. Funny thing, Inspector Rex, I knew of 10 pups which died following vaccinations one year (the 3 maltese for a start), all of which were reported, and if you extrapolate that over all the vaccinated pups in Aust, you would think you might reach 20? Yes? The stats for that year on the manufacturers website showed FOUR dogs had a reaction!! That bothered me a lot But, yes, please do report it.

persephone Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 just sleeping alot more and a bit stiff in her back legs really choppy short gait and cant really jump on high things. she still runs around and stuff. is this common? I haven't seen that- but not to say it isn't vaccine related Sounds to me more like a back/hip injury..... any chance she could have been knockedhard, or have twisted the wrong way, or jumped crooked??? Either way- if she is not comfortable ..phone your vet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
