My 15 week old Golden developed diarrhea after his shots. What do you suggest?
Full Question:
My Golden Retriever is 15 weeks old. Upon getting his first and second round of puppy vaccinations, he developed a very sensitive stomach and frequently has diarrhea (strong smell and consistency of pudding) in his crate in the mornings when we get up. I have told my vet of these concerns, and he attributes it to food, treats, allergies, but never the vaccine. I have switched to Wellness natural dog food and only give him 100% natural treats, and he still has the problem. It is now time for his 3rd and final puppy vaccine, and I am hesitant to go back. Would you recommend switching to a holistic vet? Thanks for your help!Jeremy
Cindy's Answer:
I would absolutely not go back to this Vet. In addition you ALREADY know your dog had a reaction to the vaccination so don’t ever vaccinate this dog again. Not for anything.
I know some states have laws for rabies – tough I would not do it. Seek an acceptation because of this medical problem.
Start to give the dog several tablespoons of canned pumpkin – this often helps with soft stools.
Read the Q&A on feeding raw on my web site. If this were my dog I would educate myself on a raw diet and get him going. You obviously want to do what's right for your dog (you would not have written me if you didn’t) Learn about raw and make the most important decision you will make in the health of your dog.
