My dog has a large, hard lump after rabies vaccine. Is this normal?
not to me when i had small dog done, it happened since noticed a lot of small dogs there have this badge. turns hairless or hair changes color any vet told me it is small dogs need to have shots done different also could have been done wrong by you. especially since i think it is given in hind leg? could have been bad vaccine i would be getting to vet, this is going to cost way more than the shot given by vet in first place. to much can go wrong with giving big dogs shots, small dogs are worse for normal people. so much easier and cheaper than trying to fix my mistake.
My puppy has a big lump where the vet gave her a shot. Can anyone tell me why?
This is a typical vaccine site reaction and there is no reason to loose faith in your vet. Most small dogs no matter how small the needle or skilled the administer is the dog will react to the injection. Its eally important that the dog has positive experiences at the vet so it will not develop anxiety. Ask the vet to offer canned food or feed treats as the vet administers the next booster (vaccine in the series) at the next visit! As for the inflammation at the vaccine site I would hot compress the area fo 10-15 minutes 3 times a day. Hot compessing will decrease discomfort and inflammation.. Phone the vet on Monday just to inform them and see if they have any additional suggestions. Keep the dog away fom the area as over grooming the area or excessively licking due to discomfort could bing forth a hot spot or dermatitis. Relax as this is not indicative of a serious complication. Hot compress the area and alert the vet. Try to make next vaccine visit not so traumatic by asking vet about using smallest gauge needle and distraction techniques with food. Good luck
Dogs Lump from vaccine is oozing blood/pus.?
A local reaction to a vaccine includes swelling around injection site, abscess, or itchiness. He has an abscess. Antibiotics will help, but that abscess needs to be expressed completely, emptying it of discharge/debris, flushed with sterile saline, and if a large area of pocket under the skin, needs a drain placed and warm compressing every 4-6 hours for 10 minute intervals. The vet can take care of this, and should have been able to easily diagnose and treat it when you first noted it and when he was examined for strangles. Reconsider why they didn't notice, or think it didn't warrant treatment, unless they never saw it, and went off only a phone call description from you, rather than in-person exam of abscess area. With a local reaction that severe, they may have injected the vaccine in his muscle rather than just under the skin. If you are certain the site of the abscess is the site where the vaccine was injected, the vet should've been able to treat this and should 1. Administer a premed of antihistamine 30 minutes prior to his next vaccines 2. Split his remaining vaccines into single injection events. Distemper Parvo at one site, with notation of where the vaccine was injected. Lepto separately, at a separate site, noting anatomy of site. Thus they can determine which vaccine causes the reaction, if he gets it again. Rabies given on a different date entirely, 3-4 weeks after his Distemper/Parvo series done and Lepto series done. If the abscess isn't at the vaccine injection site, and considering it was 2 weeks after the injection, it's likely a separate event, unrelated to the vaccine. Local reaction typically occur within 24 hours of injecting, starting with swelling/itchiness and leading to an abscess if not treated. There is no vaccine there now, 3 weeks later. It's now infected debris, purulent junk generated by bacteria that is trapped under the skin in the abscess. Vaccine virus and adjuvant ingredients were long ago absorbed under the skin.
What is the puppy vaccination shots schedule and guidelines?
The vaccination schedule for your puppy is one of the most crucial steps in assuring the puppy will have a healthy and happy puppy-hood. Always consult with your a professional veterinarian to determine which vaccines are appropriate for your puppy. To better understand vaccines, it is very important to understand how the puppy is protected from dangerous disease.The right vaccinations for your dog depend on their age, breed, diet, exercise, surroundings and interactions with wild and domestic animals.A puppy vaccine schedule is easy to keep up on, especially with right record keeping charts. It doesn’t require any more than six veterinary visits if the vaccines are administered properly and on time.When do puppies need shots?6 weeks – (First set) Your puppy’s first vaccines should have taken place with their breeder/rescue at about six weeks of age, seven at the latest.11 weeks – (Second set) The next set will occur two to three weeks after the first set, not to go past the nine week mark. So this means if you acquire your puppy at eight weeks, you should immediately call your veterinarian to schedule their first appointment and share your puppy’s current vaccine history.14 weeks – (Third set) A month after the second set, your puppy should be given their third DHPP at about 12 weeks. At this point, your veterinarian may wish to introduce vaccines for other regional diseases like leptospiroris or lyme disease.16 weeks – (Rabies vaccination) Finally, at four months of age (16 weeks), your puppy will be given their final combination DHPP.
How many days does a parvo vaccine take effect to puppies?
Parvo vaccine has to be given in several doses at 2–4 week intervals until the puppy is at least 16, and sometimes 20 weeks old. When born and sucking the first milk from his dam, the puppy is protected from disease by antibodies in her milk. But those antibodies lessen over time in his blood. So, some puppies can get parvo at 6 weeks if they didn’t get enough colostrum or their mother had poor immunity or they were weaned too early. Different puppies have different lengths of time that they still have maternal antibodies in their systems. The antibodies keep the body from reacting to the disease or the vaccine. But when most pups are 16 weeks old and really susceptible breeds are 20 weeks old, all the maternal antiboidies are gone and the vaccine can stimulate the immune system. It is generally held that a 16 week old pup that has had a full series of vaccinations is immune by 2 weeks later. But younger pups, even if vaccinated more than once, can still get it.
Lump on dog after rabies shot?
I took my dog to the vet for the first time since adopting her; it had been exactly a year. When we adopted her from SPCALA she had already been spayed and had her shots. We took her to have an annual exam and to her all of her booster shots. Everything went great…. Now….. Two weeks later I am petting her and I found a lump right above her right hind leg. I was frantic all night and once the vet opened I called and made an appointment for Sunday morning. The vet asked me questions about it and didn’t seem too worried, but being a first time pet owner (by myself, without parents) I was terribly worried. Then last night it dawned on me… that it is where her rabies injection was administered. So I did some research online and saw quite a few posts saying that it is common to have a lump (small marble sized on a 10 lb dog). But then I also found posts that say these lumps could indeed be cancerous. A lot of the posts say that they just massaged them and after a few months they were completely gone, and I found a few (maybe 2 or 3) saying that their dogs actually died from cancer that was caused by a lump that was from by a rabies shot.. Ahhhhh Now my question is, should I keep my appointment for Sunday… or is this something that is common and should I save my time and money? Thank you so much!
