Dog breeders and vaccine?

Question

Has anyone, breeders, had any vaccine reactions recently? Seizure reactions? A friend of mine had a puppy at the vet in status about a week ago. The day before she had vaccinated 3 pups. The other 2 pups were fine. The pup that was in status was pulled out after phenobarb and valium at the vet, and she is doing better now. I vaccinated a 13 week old pup yesterday with Vanguard plus 5. He had a seizure this afternoon lasting less than a minute. He really did not have a true postictal period though. We are calling Pzier in the morning. I don't know if this was a vaccine reaction. I was wondering if anyone else has had a reaction recently with a pup of thiers.

I have used 5 vaccines from this box, and have not had a problem with anyone else.

Sorry in my fast typing I did not spell Pfizer correctly! LOL

Answer 1

I purchase the 25 set at a time, I have used over half in the last 4 months, NO problems with any.
Actually in the last 10 or so years I have only had about 6 pups react, and they were mild...just swelling in the face, that went away within an hour.

Answer 2

I have not had any trouble with my dogs (I have used Pfizer vaccines in the past; I use Fort Dodge now), but the vets that I work for have had problems in the past with animals having reactions to the preservatives in the Pfizer vaccines. They have since switched to Fort Dodge vaccines and have had no problems.

I hope that the puppies will be okay!

Answer 3

No, I used the same product on my puppies this winter with no problems. That was 7 puppies with 3 of them getting 2 dose with me and 4 getting 3 doses. Also from the same pack I vaccinated 3 adult dogs (around 1 year old).

Answer 4

I have not hearf anything about Pfizer, but the vet i worked for used Fort Dodge and we had at least one reaction a week...usually more.

Answer 5

Wow. No, no problems here. I use Vanguard +5, but the last time I vaccinated my dogs was last August. No problems then.
