Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.
Subject: Puppy acting strange after shots Sun Apr 24, 2016 2:03 pm
Mako (11 wks) had his DHPP and deworming done yesterday. Since then, he doesn't seem to have much of an appetite and I noticed that twice he's gone out to pee and he gets in position and nothing comes out. Both times he's come back in the house and urinated about 10 minutes later. He did a sort of walking dribble of urine on the kitchen floor (he didn't even try to go off and do it descretely), and I've never seen him do that before. Could he be having side effects from the shots? Should I be concerned?

Hey Chey, every puppy will have some kind of side effects from their shots. Some aren't very obvious - like they nap a bit more; some are more obvious, like they develop a bad case of diarrhea. In most<?> cases at least one of the virus' in the mix are live virus' so effectively your vet had caused your pup to catch a minor case of the disease against which the vaccine is aimed with the intent of providing long term protection.
Deworming medication often causes a loss of appetite and lethargy.
These symptoms should clear within 24-48 hours. If not it's time for a vet visit ....
