Are puppy shots this hard?

I was keeping good thoughts for your little Lacey all last night, I was so glad to hear she seems to be her chipper self. :hugs
 
Better is good - we got very lucky in that Hanna has not had any reactions to anything so far. I know her breeder does not treat for heartworm or do vaccines except for the mandatory rabies to cross the border so no way of knowing what how her lines react.
 
Still draggy, but not all the time and she has her appetite back. She had a great breakfast and a big lunch, of course big brother Milo helped her with lunch. He enjoyed it too. It was rather funny to see the two of them eating out of the same dish at the same time. At least they got along while sharing. I think Milo knew he was not supposed to be eating out of her dish.

Oh poor Dickens. That must have been awful for him and for you of course.

It turned out being bad for Mama. I had to get up very early for work, and she was staying home for some reason that morning. Later that morning I got a call from her at work, and the first thing she said was "I just thought I'd call and let you know what your perfect puppy did." (She teased me about my insistence that Dickens was a perfect pup.) "And you mean to tell me that you didn't SMELL that?!" She had to give him a bath, throw away his bedding, completely overhaul the crate and fumigate the house. But honestly, I never smelled a thing!

Dickens was fine, apart from the fact that he had to get a bath!
 
Kaleigh did ok, Savannah isn't tolerating it

Kaleigh slept a lot after her 1st shot but overall did better than my previous ones ever did. Savannah got sick in the car yestereday-but that isn't new, seems the general reaction with any car ride. Then two explosive brown soup diarrhea episodes, luckily she was outside for both. She wasn't herself yesterday at all...My previous shelties reacted this way, Kaleigh has been the exception. She wouldn't eat, probably still nauseous, but she did get some bone broth down at dinner time and lots of water. She was whiny in her sleep last night. I just HATE shots because mine seem to have some kind of reaction. Kaleigh didn't do well with the rabies one, I suspect that will be HARD on Savannah as well. Both Kaleigh and Savannah came from a working farm environment-but they are very clean, and the breeder treated for worms because of their animals. They both came home with dewormer that they took for 7 days. By the end of the week, both of them resisted the dropper deal, it must taste bad. Interesting that y'all have postings for a one time treatment, when both my girls went through a 7 day deal. But my Vet said, this stuff will kill all types, their Vet insisted all puppy litters have it. I know our mt area has giardia, and you gotta be mindful of that.
 
shots

Chip never had one reaction to any of the shots.
Had all of them by the end of five months. Neutered at six months with not a whimper.:smile2:
