kelpiecuddles Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Josie had a C5 vacc yesterday afternoon and today she is in a very strange mood, baring her teeth and making low growling sounds at our other dog and snapping at her if she comes close. Is this normal after a vacc? I don't remember her ever doing this before but her last vacc was a C3 about 3 years ago. I can only guess she might be feeling achy? For now I've fed them and put them to bed in separate areas just to avoid any conflicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankdog Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Don't know about dogs but I had yellow fever on Monday and it hurt like hell. She might have a sore spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually there is an improvement within 24 hours t0 48 hours. For some dogs, it is like the Flu shot for humans. Hopefully Josie recovers quickly as you montior her. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Mmmm... She's never had a C5 before but had to this time for her therapy accreditation so maybe it's the bordatella/kennel cough component that hasn't quite agreed with her. Poor girl looks pretty miserable. Think I'll just keep them separate for 24 hours, don't want a big barny on my hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 It may be a mishap when she was vacc'd - perhaps it hit a muscle ..and is felling rotten and sore ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 I watched her do it and I've given plenty of vaccs myself plus Josie has lots of loose skin so i'm pretty confident the vacc was done correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumabaar Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Lethargy and some irritability is possible after a Vaccination but watch out for changes in resting resp rate or if she deteriorates further. I really wish the therapy groups would accept titre testing for the core diseases so we only had to do the kennel cough component! I hope she is feeling brighter soon- its not nice when they are not feeling 100% and can't tell us why Edited July 18, 2014 by Jumabaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 She seems healthy otherwise just a bit of a sadsack. She's spent the evening laying next to us and then following us around the house like a little lost soul anytime we move. Normally she'd be prancing around and trying to get Sascha to play with her.
