Re: Re: Lumps after puppy shots

Puppy had shots at 8 weeks nothing happened then I tell them to wait at least 3 weeks (She uses a different vet.) so she waited at least that long for the next shots. This would have been his 6 months shot. Would think it would be a different batch. Confussing to me as this did not happen with the 8 weeks shot? I want to help as much as I can as this family had another puppy that passed at the age of two so now they are in panic mode "me too"

Re: Lumps after puppy shots

Sounds to me like an allergic reaction to the vaccine(s). It would happen just like that....nothing for the 1st set...some reaction for the 2nd set and a much more obvious reaction for the 3rd set. DO NOT VACCINATE this pup again...do titer tests instead. Did the pup get a Lepto vaccine? that is the most common one to cause a reaction...the next reaction could move to throat swelling....don't mess with this one! Keep us posted.

Re: Re: Lumps after puppy shots

Yes he did get the lepto. Just heard Fort Dodge has had some bad batches along with one other. I feel the vaccine has been the problem all along, just got to find out how to get it cleared up as this pup was on Prednisone for almost 6 weeks way to long and is still not gone completly. I am not real Please with this vet. they are using soon as it happened the first time I knew it had to bee the shots as It did not happen at the 8 week shots.
Thanks everyone! I love this little guy! I even ask to have him back they said NO!
