HELP me & my Puppy out =( - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

AlicetheYorkie · 03-31-2011, 05:24 AM

Being small is definatly not a reason to give extra vaccinations and no veterinarians practice this as far as I know, if anything it's more the opposite with tiny pups. I'd say he's probably had enough vaccines; at one point in the list I think you said they did 3 within 1 month's time frame? that's way too frequent. I'd tell them thanks for the help but you'll be going to your licenced veterinarian from now on. And as someone else said, make sure you take all the records of the vaccines and deworming to your vet. It's not about how much vaccine they are given, it's about building the resistence up in their system over a period of time, age and timing is what's important, not quantity. So glad to hear he's feeling better

. I told my family & they told me to rub the spot, i did, he cried for awhile then he stopped. I put him back in the crate( he wanted to pee) then picked him up & he started to sceam again! We called the breeder, & he said maybe he hit a nerve with the shot

. He said that in the next days he will be fine. But every time i stop rubbing him for a few seconds then i start again, he cry's

. Do u guys have had this happen to u? what can i do to make him feel better? please help!

Andy has this problem every time he has a needle , After the first time the vet had a benadryle needle to give him at the same time talk to your vet about this in the future. Also get some childrens bubble gum flavor benadryle call your vet and ask how much with his weight that he should get. Please do not rub the spot as it is very tender there when picking him up just be careful that's all. Love and effection movies with mom and and bully stick furbaby will be back on his feet in no time

The next day that i got the puppy i went to a vet! I obviously did no put him in the floor. i have had him for almost 3 weeks already. They were going to give him the bordetella with a shot. But i will most definitely go to a vet! So, can he go out side? the poor little guy is always inside. I maid a special collar and leash, that would fit him & he loves it. I walk with him inside my home. i carry him out to get some sun, but i want to know if its safe for him to walk. Thanks to every body!

Ellie May · 03-31-2011, 04:11 PM

Maybe in your yard if you are sure it has been parvo free for years (which is almost impossible to know for sure). Not in public - where other animals walk. Best to wait 1-2 weeks after the last DHPP vaccines (which shouldn't be given until at least 16 weeks).

I just want to let you know that you shouldn't walk your Yorkie on a collar. He needs a harness so that you don't put any pressure on his little neck.

I am so sorry to hear your sweet baby is having such painful reactions. I am glad you will be taking him to the vet. I just want to add please be careful with using collars. Collars should only be for id tags and fashion. When you walk the puppy you should use a harness. Yorkies especially the little ones can have their tracheas (throats) injured by collars so I learned always to use what they call a choke free harness. Until he is through his shots I would wait to walk him outside and if you are out avoid grassy areas where dogs frequent. Buster was sick when I first got him and I had to not let him out either. We practiced walking with his harness in my apartment too. When he was finally ok'd to go out side he wanted to run everywhere and sniff everything. It sounds like you are trying your best to be a good mom to your new furbaby. I wish you luck and I hope everything works out with the new vet.

Just saw your other answer about you do have a harness I am glad.

I wish I could help you know more about how many shots. There are other members here who are more knowledgeable. Also check in the YT library section. I do know once he gets through the rounds of puppy shots you will only need shots once a year or every three years. I have a vet who only does the minimum required shots as I do not believe in over vaccinating them. I know it is so sad when they are in pain. Buster has had more than his full share of issues and it was hard on him and sometimes even harder on me because I worried about him so much. I am glad you looking out for your boy and I hope his puppy days are happy and pain free. Best wishes

Roxi Ree · 04-01-2011, 11:41 AM

Roxi has the same reaction when she gets her shots (she weighs 1.8 lbs now). The first time the vet gave her the shot, they gave her a little pain medicine by mouth. She also would cry if I picked her up and touched the injection site. But by the next day she was fine. Her next set of shots was the same...once again just a little pain medicine. She actually didn't cry at all during the injection, just once the medicine started stinging. I'm not saying that it doesn't hurt, but Roxi does seem to be a little bit of diva at the vet. She buries her head in my hair and than every once in awhile looks out and give the vet a dirty look.
