Re: Sound like puppy strangles?? thoughts?

They've been on the meds for 5- 6 weeks today and the boy has a late onset pimple on his lower eyelid and a few very small ones in the corner of his lip. One of the other girls has a few tiny pimples in her ears and some flushing and 2 very tiny pustules in the corner of her lip. They are due to be done this Friday with the meds. Would you keep them on and perhaps rev it up a bit and then decrease again shortly? I'm confuse because they all looked like it was clearing up for a good couple of weeks and them...bam, a few more pimples! Yuck, I HATE strangles.

Re: Sound like puppy strangles?? thoughts?

always something
I took your advice and emailed Dr Dodds. She actually CALLED instead of emailing back. What a nice person she is. Anyway she said that with the pup being immunosuppressed by Prednisone, I do NOT want to vaccinate the other pups, with fear they could shed the parvo virus and infect my little man. His last dose was just shy of 8 weeks, she advised to wait for everyone's vaccines til 9 weeks.


Thats great. I knew she would respond quickly. great that she called you.

Prayers your pups keep improving on the meds and all will turn out fine.
