| Appetite Loss My puppy had his 6-in-1 and Kennel Cough shot yesterday. He seems to have appetite loss. He doesn't want to eat but drinks a lot of water. Whenever I try to carry him, it seems like he is in pain. Is it normal for dogs to experience appetite loss after a vaccine. The vet also gave him deworm tablets all within the same day. Can I do something to help him? Also, when he was just 3 months old his ears are already erect. Sunday morning, the right ear flopped. Why is this happening? Will his ears erect again? Thank you guys! |

| Was it actually a vaccine or the nasal squirt type? It's normal for a dog to lose appetite and feel sore after any kind of vax, but after 24 hrs. he should be back to normal. Watch for any signs of allergic reaction. If he's not eating by morning call your vet and let them know your concerns. |

Hi! It is in a vaccine form both the 6-in-1 and the kennel cough. It is a relief to know that it is just normal. I called the vet this morning and told me to aid his eating first with the paste form of food. If he doesn't get well by tom I'll take him back to the vet It just makes me so sad when he is not eating | |

| I hope he feels better by morning I don't like vaccines for Halo, I give her Children's Benadryl and won't let the vet do the multi-vax all in the same day. I don't think my vet likes me, but I don't care !! Safety first !! |

| I meant before I take her for vaccines - I give her Children's Benadryl. I'm sorry, I'm sleepy. |

I really do hope he is better by tom. He doesn't seem weak though so Im a little okay by that. Is the benadryl effective on your baby? Does she experience appetite loss after vax? Thank you! | |

| If he hasn't eaten since yesterday, I would take him to the vet for supportive care. These little ones can go down very fast.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Yes, he could be sore from where the vaccine was given, so that may explain the pain. Appetite loss after vaccines isn't really normal, unless they're in a lot of pain (which also wouldn't be normal). Instead of trying to feed his normal food, try instead to give just carbs like some small pieces of bread or cracker....carbs can help settle the stomach by absorbing some nauseous juices. Is he drinking water?
