The vet was out of town and i reached him via his cellphone and he said to keep him hydrated (and i did with pedialyte in a dropper) but he died last night before i could get him to the vet as he told me to do this morning! Why did my sweet Sammy die from the vaccination, is this normal????? I am so heartbroken as are my husband and 4 kids :(

Take your question to a different vet than the one who gave your dog those shots. That doesn't sound right.

The fact is that vaccinations can and do kill. I answered a question like this several days ago. I am so sorry that you have lost your baby. There is no reason this should continue to happen. A baby shouldn't have shots till they are at least 10-14 weeks. At 8 weeks the mother’s immunity hasn't even worn off yet. Pedialyte was the best you could do. Water wouldn't have changed anything. The best thing would have been an IV but obviously without the vet being in you couldn't get that. Again terribly sorry for your loss. Run free Sammy.......
I forget where I got the below article but it includes important information that may help you avoid this in the future.
New Vaccination Protocol - IMPORTANT READING
VACCINATION NEWSFLASH [CIMDA support] Re: J Dodd's vaccine protocol
I would like to make you aware that all 27 veterinary schools in North America are in the process of changing their protocols for vaccinating dogs and cats.
Some of this information will present an ethical & economic challenge to vets, and there will be skeptics. Some organizations have come up with a political compromise suggesting vaccinations every 3 years to appease those who fear loss of income vs. those concerned about potential side effects.
Politics, traditions, or the doctor's economic well-being should not be a factor in medical decision.
NEW PRINCIPLES OF IMMUNOLOGY:
Dogs and cats immune systems mature fully at 6 months. If a modified live virus vaccine is given after 6 months of age, it produces immunity, which is good for the life of the pet (ie: canine distemper, parvo, feline distemper). If another MLV vaccine is given a year later, the antibodies from the first vaccine neutralize the antigens of the second vaccine and there is little or no effect. The titer is not "boosted" nor are more memory cells induced.
Not only are annual boosters for parvo and distemper unnecessary, they subject the pet to potential risks of allergic reactions and immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia. There is no scientific documentation to back up label claims for annual administration of MLV vaccines.
Puppies receive antibodies through their mothers milk. This natural protection can last 8-14 weeks. Puppies & kittens should NOT be Vaccinated at LESS than 8 weeks. Maternal immunity will neutralize the vaccine and little protection (0-38%) will be produced.
Vaccination at 6 weeks will, however, DELAY the timing of the first highly effective vaccine.
Vaccinations given 2 weeks apart SUPPRESS rather than stimulate the immune system.
A series of vaccinations is given starting at 8 weeks and given 3-4 weeks apart up to 16 weeks of age.
Another vaccination given sometime after 6 months of age (usually at 1 year 4 mo) will provide lifetime immunity.

I am so sorry for your loss, it is very hard to lose something u love and it is even harder when u do what u can do and they die anyway.http://www.leerburg.com/vaccinosis.htm
the above website is very interesting for u to read it has to do with adverse reactions due to vaccinations.http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/petvacc.htm
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/avictim.htm

very interesting site to read.........

I am a firm believer in vaccinations as they do prevent ur animals from getting sick. But..... There is rare instances that a vaccination will kill ur dog or puppy and i did not realize it was more common than i thought.
once again i am sorry about your loss and the first person that said those mean things has no right to say what they did, and that goes for any other smart a**.
I would change vets 2 someone u can count on being there when u need them. There is emergency overnight vets, i would check into incase of another emergency occurs with any other pets, and keep all names and numbers handy if there is any emergency vets in your area, as some places do not have all night emergency vets.

Did your vet do an extensive check up on your puppy before he gave him the shots? If not then the pup could have had parvo and you not know it. Once parvo gets into the blood stream of a very young dog there is not much that can be done. Did you buy the dog? If so i would contact the people I got it from and ask if any of the other pups have died or been sick. If you have a vet college near or you can ask the vet to do a autopsy on the pup and that will tell you what caused the death. you do need to find out if it was parvo because if you get another pup before you take precautions to clean another pup could be lost.

I think your pup was already sick. I think that the vaccination was just a coincidence. He should have had a shot when he was weaned, if he didn't he was more vulnerable to Parvo which can kill pretty quickly. A good breeder would make sure that the pup had a parvo shot, at the very least, before you took him home. Two 5 - way shots at least 10 days apart would have been much better.
Talk to your vet about what you need to do to protect your next pup, before you get it. And if I were you I wouldn't think of getting a pup before 8 weeks old, they are too vulnerable.

That is something that vets are not telling people. Dogs or cats can die from vaccinations. All 27 vet schools in the US went to a 3 yr protocol on vaccinations in 2002.

I am very sorry for your loss... he probably had parvo and was just not symptomatic yet... If the parvo vaccine is given to a dog with parvo... it will kill them...( do not fault your vet though... parvo usually kills them anyway and the parvo test can be a bit pricey) you might want to consult the vet about the possibility of this so you can properly clean before introducing another dog in your house... it is not an easy process!

The Pedialyte wasn't enough. He should have had water too. He didn't die from the vaccinations. He died of dehydration. You could be charged with animal cruelty too.

What your dad is asserting isn't authentic. Them being taken from their mom "early" does not lead them to chew. Non-appropriate coaching is why the canines chews. the rationalization some could say 6 weeks is early is using the fact maximum breeders do no longer supply their doggies up till 8 wks. the rationalization breeders supply their doggies away at 8 weeks is considering the fact it is whilst their first vaccinations are given to them. yet at 6 weeks the doggies could desire to be ingesting and residing on their very own completely superb!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I don't think there is anything you could have done to change the outcome.
I have made the choice not to vaccinate my kitten, for fear of her health. The choice was made after reading several aricles and books on the topic. Please have a look at the link below, I think you will find it interesting.
