How is your dog now? We had the same problem but our little girl is still not well and may never be. Just wanted to see if I could help if the problem is still present. By the way, I am in Sydney.

Try some Bach Crab Apple in the meantime. All the best.

Its the first time he has given the injections together and funny you mentioned that, cos its the only time shes reacted. Thanks for your thoughts. Please keep me posted on your girl in Sydney, Jane Back to top MissHeidi Puppy Joined: 30 May 2008 Posts: 2 Location: Australia Fur Kids: Heidi the Weimaraner Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2008 4:56 pm    Post subject: Next year please make sure you give her any live vaccines separately in 2 week intervals. My poor little Heidi is on corticosteroids everyday after her vaccine reaction and I do not think I will ever vaccinate her again beside a parvo vaccine administered on its own. Your lucky your weim pulled through, Heidi did the first time but the second time caused HOD and immunodeficiency. Also you may want to google about annual vaccines, they say it is unnecessary to administer annually and every 3 years is sufficient. The vets would disagree as they just want your $.

I just do what the vet says, and it seems like we get shots constantly. So I can regulate the vaccinations that Carly gets? I thought the were all necessary.

Some areas have a high incidence of Lyme disease and some have a high incidence of Lepto. I give my dogs the Lepto vaccine because I hunt with them. We have also had incidences of Lepto here in the southeast. It can be a pretty deadly disease. I'm also going to start giving them the Lyme vaccine since I travel with them and we were contacted about a rescue dog who has Lyme.
