oakeydoak1 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I took my BC's to have their immunisations today. All were fit and healthy. Since I got home my bitch have been off colour and looking miserable. Can they feel off colour for a while afterwards like humans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Sounds like a reaction to the vaccine. It would be a good idea to phone your vet, and tell him about the symptoms, and get his advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakeydoak1 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Thanks Spottychick - I just have never had them have any reaction before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakeydoak1 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Thanks Jed - was thinking that. Have brought her inside and given her some "treats" which she seems to be eating fine. Edited January 25, 2010 by oakeydoak1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koemi Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 My boy gets like that - last time he got his shots he had a big, angry welt on his neck for a week, and was very off-colour. Disconcerting for a JRT (cross). He's due again now but i'm of two minds to do it to him again. The only problem being that i'm going overseas in June and will probably need to board him somewhere as i don't trust my housemates to look after the kidlets.

twodoggies2001 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Sounds like a reaction to the vaccine. It would be a good idea to phone your vet, and tell him about the symptoms, and get his advice. My mini schnauzer, several years ago had the same problem, but he was quite ill for about a week. He had daily vet attention during that time. This was after his puppy booster shot at 16 weeks. Since that time, he had two more vaccinations, but before each one, he had an antihistimine shot 30 minutes prior. With my younger dog, I have decided to do titers instead of jumping straight into vaccinations and if he does not have immunity he will be given a 3 yr. shot. I do not want to have him vaccinated needlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I have had a BC very ill for 24 hours after a C5. I never used the C5 again after that. mine just get a C3 and if they need KC for travel or kenneling I get the nasal spray one at a different time to the vaccine. Also dogs should not be overheated (including exercise) for at least 24 hours after any vaccine so make sure you keep them in out of this heat today.
