Hey Tammy,
I'm glad to hear the puppy is getting better. He's gaining weight, eating and playing so things are moving in a good direction. I might be tempted to hold off on the vaccines for a little longer if possible...esp if the breeder did give a 5 in 1 vaccine just before you got him. With his immune system compromised...(that's what I'm thinking between the cough, sniffles, loss of hair etc)...it might be better to just make sure he is not exposed to any other dogs until it is safe to vaccinate him. But this is just my opinion. You would do best to continue your reading/research here from others with more experience and maybe try a second vet's opinion. Someone who is open to more holistic approaches might be good.
They are a lot of work...and when they are sick like this...a lot of reading and research...but they pay it all back 10 fold in love! Looking forward to more updates and pictures. |
