Stewie_the_Frenchie Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi all, I bet you've answered this a dozen times - I searched a few threads but it wasn't specific enough to what I'm wanting to know. Omar is 10 and a half weeks and had his 2nd round of shots and a worming tablet on Saturday. He was a little lethargic that afternoon which was to be expected (and it was 32c here in Melbourne). He also had diarrhoea. He is full of beans and eating and drinking and playing, but still has some diarrhoea - it's now Monday night. He shows no other signs of being poorly, but his stools are still loose. Normal after worming? Or trip to the vet? This didn't happen with Turtle (that I can remember), so I'm a little thrown. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It's relatively normal for pups to get a bit loose after worming... but it can also depend on the worming tablet/treatment you use. I use Fenpral or Canex for my foster pups, as I find they are not as hard on the gut as Drontal (for example). I also try not to vaccinate and worm on the same day, as that can sometimes overload the little ones' systems causing any number of undesirable effects. If his stools are getting firmer over time, then I'd not worry too much about it - especially if he's behaving normally in every other way. T.

Sandra777 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 If he's improving I wouldn't be overly concerned. Lesson learnt - don't overload his system by vaccinating & worming on the same day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewie_the_Frenchie Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks! After having bullsy Newfies, it's interesting getting used to a small breed. Stools are firming up, which is great! Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Some pups can react to Vaccinations by being of colour and have a touch of Diarrhoea, bit like human bubs, likewise they can react to worming medications. Both at once is a bit of a double whammy for their little system :) Usually does pass in a day or so, so chalk it up to a learning experience.

Skitch Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Sounds like a relatively normal reaction to me and one that I have observed in my foster puppies several times. It sounds like he is on the mend and I would not be overly concerned at this point :) I imagine that the diarrhea should be gone over the next couple of days.

WreckitWhippet Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I would be very careful when it comes to future vaccinations for any puppy/dog that has shown any kind of reaction to initial vaccinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Our female had a reaction to a vaccination and I told the vet the next time I saw him and he gave her a different type, with no reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewie_the_Frenchie Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Thanks poochmad! I will let my vet know in a few weeks. My vet is awesome by the way - after having a bad vet experience with turtle and chief, it's so great to find one who is highly recommended and who I trust.
