It is important to do a fecal at least once a year and twice is better. | Hello Ellie May, I had the both babies in on Monday 3/24 for their shots. Monday is 5 and Friday is 1. Monday and Friday got shots for distemper-hepatitis (CAV-2), parvo, parainfluenza, rabies, and bordetella. Monday is fine. Two days later, (Wed. 3/26) Friday, started throwing up and has had loose stools. really loose. It is still happening, (the loose stools, and one of them threw up today, (I never can tell which one unless I see it) On different days, I gave her some Imodium, Centrine, and today gave her Amflora. These are meds given to them before for diarrhea -- I fed them their usual prescription dry low residue food. Today I gave them scrambled eggs, but Monday did not eat it, Friday gobbled the both dishes up (Less than ½ egg). Friday truly stinks. I had to bathe her butt 3 times yesterday, and twice today. You seem so knowledgeable, so I am asking you, could this be a reaction to the shots? I was giving it time to work through before taking them back to the vet. When I spoke with the office today, they said to wait and see. Do you have any advice? I did not hear back about the fecal samples (which were firm 8 days ago) so I assume no news is good news. They did not mention anything when I called, so I guess that is good. And although Friday is 2" shorter than Monday they each weigh 4.75 lbs. Friday is a chub-chub. Sorry if this is too long. I rarely bother anyone with health issues. My main question is: could this be a reaction to the shots? Thanks a lot for any help you can give me. |
