Oh thank goodness the Wizard is feeling better! What a scare! I know what you mean Kerry, about 'the look'. I've seen it too many times on Soul :( And how awful that you were fretting about his shots, only to have your fears realized :grouphug

 

Want some wine? :baby:kiss2

We have had trouble with the Lepto part of the vaccine before but with our other breeds of dogs. We just left that one out. and also I don't give mine vaccines except for Bordatella and Rabies after they are 8 years old.

Same here... Just Rabies and Bord after eight.

BTW, I thought Remadyl was for pain? Oh, well, I guess that's why the vets get paid the big bucks and I don't :P

 

Yes, it is for pain - but it is also used as a fever reducer. And Merlin was very achy this morning.

 

I just took Merlin's temperature and he is down from 102.7 to 101.8!! :yay :yay :yay I took him into the yard and he peed and his eyes look much better now. He's still a little subdued, but I think he's on the mend... :goodluck :goodluck

 

I ended up not giving him any Rimadyl - I am going to monitor things and see how he does on his afternoon walk. If he looks stiff or looks as if he has aches and pains I will give him one with his dinner.

 

Thank you so much, everyone, for your advice, experiences, and good thoughts.

 

No more combo vaccine for Merlin, that's for sure.

 

Merlin that is good news! Keep it up for mommy!

I am so glad that he is feeling better and I hope this is the end of the problem. I have had too many pets react to the

 

vaccines. My first vet who is now in his 80's said that when he was in vet school there was much discussion about the

 

necessity and safety of yearly vaccines. I am sure the vaccines have been refined, but it is common for pets to have

 

problems when a new type is manufactured. Been there with my fur kids. I had a cat who developed a tumor on her neck

 

from the feline leukemia vaccine and it eventually killed her. Looked like she had a baseball in her neck.

 

My vet was not happy when I decided to curtail most vaccines for all my kids. My two dachsies are 10 and almost 15.

 

Howie is getting his rabies tomorrow, but I am not getting anymore for Dexter. He goes out in the yard and right back

 

inside in a minute or so. The only time they are around other animals is at the vets. If they were younger I would get titers

 

first for some of the shots and go from there.

 

Give the big guy a hug from me.

I hope the vet apologized!

 

 

No they didn't.

 

Glad Merlin is doing better and hope he bounces back to his old self.
