They refused to believe it was the vaccine even after i called and also asked why they were vaccinating yearly when it was required for 4 in 1 every 3 years as well. It cost my parents 2,000 for a week in the hospital. He is fine now but my parents will no longer vaccinate him after this and my dad who does no research said to me i swear it was the bordatella shot as that was the only difference
oh and no where on blood work did it indicate pancreatitis - it was confirmed by vet viral infection and they state no clue how it happened lollll
reaction happened within week of vaccinations and reactions to vaccines can happen up to a month after vaccine. There are accute reactions which is anaphylactic shot but there are also reactions that can happen after time in the system |
Wow that is crazy! Obviously it was the shot it sounds like! The Bordatella is tricky! And getting it every 6 months (via intranasal) just sounds like a lot IMO, especially if it can also cause it too. I didn't know that reactions to vaccines can happen up to a month either after the vaccine!
I think the OP said she has a young puppy and they are going in for their 2nd round of Bordatella soon. Do puppies require getting it every couple of weeks like their other shots? I'm assuming that is the case, but that makes me a little nervous since Zoey will be due for her 2nd Bordatella next week and her Rabies shot too. I'm definately going to spread them out. I have a friend who has a puppy and her Vet gave the puppy his Distemper and the Bordatella (intranasal) together and her puppy threw up about 20 minutes after leaving the Vet. He's fine, but it totally scared her to death.
