I am hysterical, praying for my puppy - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Oh no I am so sorry to read about Martini and the problems she is having.

Sending out prayers that she will be OK.

Sending up prayers for your baby...

Martinismom · 06-25-2013, 09:41 AM

The more I read the more I want to wait for the rabies and this additional 5 way. What kills me is that was her last vaccine ( other the the rabies) she did fine with the first 9 way 3 weeks ago other then a little soreness and has been perfect which is why it was such a shock that this would happen. All previous shots have been 2/3 weeks apart. Has anyone heard of this happening? The vet seemed 100% confident she would be fine . I just can't see how it's ok for a tiny thing to be under sedation

Jacksmom052709 · 06-25-2013, 09:46 AM

Maybe there wasn't enough time between the two shots - I don't know what a 9 way is either but my vets spaces my pups vaccines out because they are tiny - more so when they were under 1 year old. Like the others have said, wait on the rabies vaccine. I am hoping your little Martini will be okay and will pray for a speedy and complete recovery.

MandiesMom · 06-25-2013, 09:50 AM

You know, I have read where some pups even do fine on vaccines for a year or two and then suddenly have reactions. So, being fine the last time and then a reaction this time isn't uncommon. Go with your gut, wait til Martini is all good and strong again and go from there. That is what I'd do, too.

It is common for their to be a bump at the injecton site but not common for it to be an abcess. Prayers for your baby

mimimomo · 06-25-2013, 09:58 AM

Wow what does 9 way contain...that seems like a lot of vaccines in 1 shot. So sorry Martini is going through this, hope & pray that she'll make a full recovery very soon!

We noticed a knot at the injection site and the vet said it was more then likely from the vaccine and should be ok and he will look at it Tuesday.(today). My fiancé just called me and told me they are keeping martini overnight and she has to be a minor surgery this afternoon to remove an abscess that's an allergic reaction from the vaccination. I am so upset,my baby is only 4 months old

she has also lost almost another half a pound since last week but the 2 vets don't seem to be concerned with that, they took her temperature and drew some blood but they said she is in no way looks malnourished , too thin or unhealthy in any way. They don't think it's her liver because she has no symptoms of anything other then that abscess. She literally just pooped before her appointment and hadn't eaten since and they think that is part of the reason and her not feeling 100% because of the reaction. Even though you would ever Beale to tell she doesn't feel 100%. They also said their puppy scale only goes in .25 incriments so ifshesbetween a half pound and 1.25 it can draw the reading to the lower end even if she weighs 1.49oz. Please pray for my baby I am so scared and I feel like my heart could break.

Has Martini had this surgery yet? If not I strongly suggest a second opinion perhaps at a VET ER? Is this vet a specialist in small animal surgery? If this is an infected abcess I would be concerned about doing surgery so quickly. I would think the administering of antibiotics intravenously first would be considered before progressing to surgery. If the vet is saying that this is a fluid retained abcess to be drained thats another story...I'm confused at what exactly the vet is calling this? As far as BAT's/shunts testing etc., I wouldn't be concerned with that right now, this baby obviously presents with a reaction of some sort to vaccinations. I would want to know for sure exactly what it is and how it was determined before jumping in to surgical procedures.

I'm sorry your going through this and I'm so sorry Martini is ill, please keep us posted, prayer being said.

Martinismom · 06-25-2013, 10:21 AM

THANK YOU everyone for your prayers and kind words. The Vet and my fiancé just called me (he's with her I'm at work and a nanny and can't leave right now) The vet got her in and done sooner then she originally had thought and she is OUT and doing GREAT!!!! I can't explain the relief in my heart. She said there wasn't any kind if bacterial infection that it was like an incapsulated pocket that her body for,Ed because it recognized a foreign object and did not want to let it in. She does have afew stitches though and abut of an open sore

ALSO GOOD NEWS she weight almost 2lbs !!! The vet said she weighed her in the surgical center (we go to a animal hospital) on that more efficient scale because she kept picking her up and saying even though she's tiny there's no way she was weighing1.25lbs and she was right(theyre also no longer using that other puppy scale now that they see it messed up) AND because she was able to get her done early and they are there until 8pm we can pick her up TONIGHT between 6-8pm. She will be on a antibiotic liquid to be safe. Thank you god, and thank you everyone!!!

I know this is a trying time for you and hope the best for your puppy. Vaccinations for all animals are serious but for the animals under 10 pounds it is extremely serious. Yorkies and other breeds are having abscesses, anxiety, seizures, digestion problems and a host of issues interfering with the health and happiness of the dog. Before vaccinating any animal I would suggest reading Dr. Ron Schultz's article and titter testing your pets first.
What Everyone Needs to Know About Canine Vaccines by Ronald D. Schultz, PhD

http://truth4pets.org/2012/06/what-everyone-needs-to-know/

Also, Titter Testing our pets before administering the vaccination is always a good idea. It is worth the expense and time. This information may be helpful.

REASONS FOR VACCINE TITER TESTING *

· To determine that animal is protected (suggested by a positive test result)

· To identify a susceptible animal (suggested by a negative test result)

· To determine whether an individual animal has responded to a vaccine

· To determine whether an individual vaccine is effectively immunizing animals

* from: Schultz, Ford, Olsen, Scott. Vet Med, 97: 1-13, 2002 (insert)

AVAILABLE VACCINE TITERS FOR DOGS

· Distemper Virus

· Parvovirus

· Adenovirus 2 (hepatitis)

· Bordetella

· Panleukopenia

· Corona Virus [not recommended]

· Rabies Virus (RFFIT: non export)

I hope this information helps with future vaccinations and wish I would have read it before my precious Yorkie had her rabies vaccination. All the best to you.

MandiesMom · 06-25-2013, 10:24 AM

Woohoo!! Happy to read this update!! Yayness for Martini!!

ETA: Posted before reading the posted info above and wanted to thank you for that info for all of us!

Sorry I didn't catch this thread until now.....but now I can say congrats! Sounds like the worst is over & I hope she makes a speedy recovery! Take care.

Martinismom · 06-25-2013, 11:38 AM

Thank you guys

I can't wait to get my hands on that little nugget! Unlimited carrots and treats tonight!( jk..a little lol )

My lil friend · 06-25-2013, 11:48 AM

I am just now seeing this. WOW! I am so sorry that this happened and so thrilled that your baby is ok.
You might want to keep the food to chic n rice until tomarrow. So the sedation will have a chance to get completely out of her system.

Hope you all have a good,peaceful and uneventful night.
