Vommitting puppies - Page 1

HI all, A friend just called and has 6 week old puppies that are vomitting. They have tested negative for Parvo and have been on amoxicillin and ivs at least for 5 days, they are still vomitting, and they have diarrehea, but its not runny just soft like peanut butter. I have never had pup with this problems, so I thought I could ask on here and see what anyone else may recommend. The pups got their first parvo vaccine at 5 weeks and were sick the very next day, a coincidence?? or just a flu bug. I don't know what to tell her. I recommended pedialyte, with a sirenge, and they are taking it, but still vomitting, one is worse than the rest, so on IVs again today for the weekend. Please help please post to here or email me at vomveiderheiss@nemontel.net, not my other email posted on my profile, Thank you.

megaesophagus?, but unlikely if it is the whole litter. Is it after they are eating? Megaesophagus usually doesn't show until they are eating solid food, how long after they were started on solid food did they start vommitting?

sounds like they have had a reaction to the puppy shot....started the day after the shot at 5 weeks. I believe that this is way to young to start the shots anyway. This happend to a friend of myne...I don't remember what the vet had her do. But they might just have to work it through the system. H.

Have your friend test her puppies for "Coccidiosis". It is very common in puppies that have their "systems" stressed either by innoculations or diet changes. They usually suffer with signs of vomiting and loose stools.........many times they won't eat. It is fairly easy to cure....but puppies that are not treated,...can become severely ill. The antibiotic most used is Albon. Hope this helps.

Het is right, these puppies are far too young to have been vaccinated. I don't know when vets are going to get on board with Dr. Jean Dodd's current vac protocol. For that matter, I am wondering why all breeders who do their own vaccinating aren't doing it her way. She has done years of research on vaccinating puppies and dogs. "Puppies receive antibodies through their mother's milk. This natural protection can last 8-14 weeks. Puppies and kittens should NOT be vaccinated a LESS than 8 weeks. Maternal antibodies 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. "Vacccinations given 2 weeks apart SURPRESS rather than stimulate the immune system. "A series of vaccination is given starting at 8 weeks and given 3-4 weeks apart up to 16 weeks of age. "Another vacccination given sometime after 6 months of age (usually at 1 year, 4 mos) will provide LIFETIME IMMUNITY" "I would like to make you aware that all 27 veterinary schools in North America are in the process of cahnging their protocols for vaccniating dogs and cats" Dr. Jean Dodd Hemopet More from Dodd can be found on the net using a google search - "Jean Dodd". Her credentials are impeccable.

I agree with crhuerta, we have had chihuahuas die from Coccidia (spelling?). It acts a lot like parvo, too. Once they started eating we fed ours plain yogurt, but I would ask your vet.

rottie pups & puppies that are in a high-risk area for parvovirus are recommended to have their first parvo series vaccine at 5 weeks of age. a billion things could be wrong with the pups- they could have coccidia, even a high intestinal worm burden. i would think since the entire litter is having this reaction, it would be unlikely to be the vaccines, though stranger things have happened (the whole litter could have a weak immune system)... have a veterinarian on hand and the phone # to the after-hours clinic.
