    I would find a new Vet… and in the end, you are the customer, what you want to give the Vet should respect. I have not used Corona in over 15 yrs... or Lepto

    Giving the shots 2wks apart is OK, but I would not give any shots with the rabies shot, those should be given separate.

  • Corona vaccines are just money makers for the vets. They are NOT considered core vaccines and I would never subject my animal to it. I suggest you find a vet in your area that is AAHA accredited. They ascribe to the core vaccine protocols of the National Veterinary Societies.

    As for vaccines two weeks apart. Only if they are different vaccines. Ie - Ph'nx just got her Dist/Parvo, in 2 weeks will be getting her Rabies, then 2 weeks later her "adult" dist/parvo.

    You are wasting your money if you are giving say, a dist/parvo then in 2 weeks boostering it. Not only wasting your money but overdosing your dog, IMO.

    @lawrence-chow said in Puppy dry heaving?: Replying late but our B had this problem for quite a while. It's called bilious vomiting syndrome. Usually the vomit is yellow foam in the morning when they have an empty stomach. Our vet suggested feeding 3 meals through the day with the last meal as late in the evening as possible and then the moment they wake up, feed them right away, even just a spoonful is good. Our B had this issue on and off for a good 4 months before it eventually going away, the feeding very first thing in the morning seemed to help. She's 9 months now and it still happens occassionally, the last time was when we forgot to feed her dinner the night before. She's otherwise totally healthy. Sadly this was a totally different issue at the time. It was dry and repetitive even post-feeding. Ended up being nothing which is odd but he's all good now :)

    @chewy1 Seeka is bathed regularly due her swimming and rolling in sand at the park daily, besides she sleeps in the bed with us. We put 1 tsp of Optima 365 in her dry food daily. Vet recommended. Takes care of her dandruff.

    Yes, she's a wonderful lady. Always very helpful, and quick to reply to any concerns I have. If I thought it was an immediate problem I would have contacted her right away, but it sounds like a common phenomenon. Glad to have community feedback.

    how big is the lump? it could be as simple as a pore clogged with oil. it can feel like a cyst and by massaging it you can get it to head over time. Or try a warm wash cloth. Shot reactions, like they said, are on the shoulder blades. Caesar has a reaction to a shot and his shoulder blew up to a softball size. The vet tech that gave a shot didnt insert it in the correct manner and it dissolved with time and a Benadryl shot. Does your pup react when you touch it like it might hurt? What size is it? When Cairo was being neutered the vet pulled two teeth (canine and molar) that were not completely out or pushed out by the new teeth. They didnt charge me that much because he was already asleep. This is a great time for them to inspect and fix anything. They charged me $50 for pulling a baby canine that didnt come out and a molar that was on its way out.
