Loss of Appetite after Vaccination (Please note that I have also posted this message on the Yorkie Health Board)
Hi all,
I am in desperate need of some urgent feedback! Lexi will not eat after her second shot. She used to eat three-four times a day along with NutriCal in between meals.
I've tried everything (fruit, yogurt, cooked food, canned food, dry food...etc), every brand and every trick that I have read other people use. The only thing that she will eat is the NutriCal. I have to force feed her food and give lots of praise. This has been going on for a week now.
She is peeing and pooping normally and is acting her usual playful self. But I am still extremely worried. I took her to the vet and they scanned her stomach and took a blood test, the results were normal. They then administered another dewormer and advised to continue to give her the NutriCal.
I have read that vaccinations can cause appetite loss, but for how long.
I have exhausted everything I can think of and the vet is telling me its normal behavior for the type of dog and size.
Please advise whether you have had any experience with this, I would really appreciate it because I refuse to accept that she has suddenly become picky after having such a great appetite.
Thanks so much! |
