squeeking when i pick her up after lyme vaccine...
 

:confused: Meesha had her lyme vaccine yesterday, Now today if i pick her up she squeeks, or if i touch her front legs by where it attaches to the ribs, The lyme vaccine went between her front shoulder blades. I called the vet she said she could just be sore from the vaccine,if it continunes tomorrow bring her in..but i'm still really nervous:S. Could this be something else?, i'm with her all day , i know she didn't hurt herself that i know of, she runs down her bed ramp pretty fast, could that hurt her legs/ribs..i hate hering her cry and squeek when i pick her up, it breaks my heart, she seems to walk and play fine...is eating and pooing and peeing..anyone elses baby sore after a vaccine?

She is probably sore from her shot. I know I am very sore after I get a shot as well as Callie.

You can always apply warm compresses or a heating pad to the vaccination site. Peanut is usually sore after his rabies and this seems to help him.

ok thanks she's been really sleepy all day, I'll try a heating pad on her, thanks:)

My vet gives Sugar an ice pack right after vacs. She is a screamer :eek:

Peyton is a screamer too. It was soooo sad at the last visit. She ended up giving him a little pain reliever to help him out. He is just a sensitive kind of guy! ;)

Poor baby! Hope she feels better soon!

thanks, she was sleepy and sore for 2 days after the vaccine, she is finally back to her old self, i was so worried there for a bit, i'm an over protective momma lol. just glad my baby's alright now, she's going to hate me because we still have a few more appointments left to go, i'm going to ask about the pain reliever next time, it broke my heart the past 2 days

You will need to get the booster for that vaccine in 3-4 weeks, and I personally wouldn't get any other vaccines for a month after that. Vaccines for small dogs do best and are safest when spaced one month apart.

I wouldn't get any non-core vaccines until the pup is older, and has had all the core vaccines. Personnally, mine don't get any of the non-core vaccines. Vaccines are still being made strong enough to immunize dogs that weigh 100 pounds. Until the vaccine manufactureres make a vaccine more appropriate for small dogs, I worry about the very real possiblity of over-vaccination in small dogs, which can make a dog very sick, and could be fatal.

Please look at this link:
Vaccination Schedule Recommendations For Dogs

she had her distemper/adenovirus/parainfluenza/parvovirus shot at 11 weeks, that was her first shot ever , i took her in for lyme at 13 weeks because we once found a tick on our sheltie ,so lyme makes me nervous, especially where we have deep forest all around us, then they have us in to get shots at:
15 weeks/16 weeks/17 weeks and 19 weeks, I'm not sure what they are but i'm jsut doing what our vet reccomended, they were great with our shelite so i trust them, but i'll deff look into that information you gave me, other opinions always help, thanks:)

Lymes is a treatable disease, easily treated with antibiotics.

I will be right back....

oh thanks,but i thought that lyme can go unnoticed for a long time and do damage?

Dogs in Canada -- Lyme disease i just googled it i found this article it says

"Lyme disease can be successfully treated with antibiotics, but only if the infection is diagnosed early. If treatment is delayed, the disease can become a chronic condition that is unlikely to respond to treatment."

I guess it depends on preference,theres good points to getting it and not getting it, meeshas going to be outside ALOT in the spring summer and fall and i just feel more secure espicially where i live in alot of woods

That's fine, but there is doubt as to how effective the Lymes vaccine really is, whether or not it works as intended.

I am not so much disagreeing with which vaccines you want her to have, but the timetable the vet wants to give them to her.

When a dog/puppy gets vaccinated, it takes that vaccine about one month for it to do it's job and make antibodies against that particular disease, and leave the body.

Vaccines challenge the pup's immune system, and Yorkies are small dogs, and have small immune systems. Giving vaccines one month apart allows the immune system to make an appropriate amout of antibodies for that particular disease.

When vaccines are given together, the challenge to the pup's immune system is doubled at least, so their bodies can only make about half of the amount of each antibody for each disease it was vaccinated against.

Also, if the puppy were to have a reaction, the vet would not be able to tell which vaccine the pup had the reaction to.

On your pup's vaccine schedule, she will have 3 vaccines in her system, all trying to produce antibodies against different diseases. This can make her very sick, and can put her immune system on overload. When that happens, the immune system goes crazy, and may turn on itself, and start making antibodies against itself. This is a very dangerous situatuion, and can be extremely expensive to diagnose and treat. Dogs that get this and are treated do not always survive.

To be cont.
