Our little boy is a 7 wk old Australian shepherd and he just got his first set of distemper shots yesterday. Today he is so moody, and depressed it seems. Is this normal? Is he still in pain, or mad at me. This is my first puppy, and if he is in pain I just didn't want to be trying to play with him or worry that something else is wrong. THANKS EVERYONE
Answers:
Some dogs seem to be a little more sensitive to their parvo/distemper shots than others. Let him rest and if he isn't doing better by tomorrow take him to see the veterinarian.
He will need two or three more puppy shots in the next couple of months to get his anibodies built up against parvo and distemper which is the two most needed since both can be fatal very quickly.
In fact, puppies are very susceptible to those two diseases and it is strongly recommended, other than his own back yard, he isn't taken visiting anywhere such as pet stores or parks until his third vaccination, which is when he has a stronger immune system.
he is probably sore from the injections !!
i wouldn't worry the same thing happened to my toy poodle if they used a live vac it can make them feel down
Maybe he isn't Moody or depressed you are just feeling guilty for taken your dog in for them to inflect pain on him lol. He should be fine if not then maybe you should call your vet he might had had a allergic reaction to the shot. You can call and ask the reception's working there and she in turn can ask the vet for you . That will put your mind at ease
