My dog is nauseous and has a fever after vaccine. What can I do?

Hello. Many things could cause his loss of appetite including something stuck in the gut (sock, toy, ball), an infection (virus, bacteria), or an upset stomach from eating something that didn't agree with him. If Martin is otherwise bright and happy and playing, I would try feeding some rice and some boiled/boneless/skinless chicken breast, in small frequent meals. If he is lethargic, vomiting, having diarrhea, or not wanting to eat still, I would take him to a vet. Since he is unvaccinated he may have other very serious illnesses.

If he recently had intestinal surgery and is experiencing nausea than you should call your vet and give him/her an update. Your vet may want to recheck him to make sure it is not related to the surgery. There really isn't a good over the counter medication for nausea but your vet could prescribe an anti-vomiting medication and antacid. You could add a probiotic to his diet, like Proviable or Fortiflora and see if that helps. Also, feeding him a gastrointestinal diet may help, too.

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Lethargy, fever and inappetence can occur 24-48 hours post-vaccination. This is not uncommon. If it has been longer than this, it is likely unrelated to the vaccines that a good reason to have Saski evaluated by your veterinarian to ensure that there is not something else going on. Good luck! Have a good evening!

Poor Bobbie Sue! You can try putting some ice where the injection was given, and try offering her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts. If she is still acting this way in the morning, have her seen by a vet.

As you visited the vet today, you need to give it at least 24 hours to see if the treatment has an effect or not, if by tomorrow you do not see any improvement, take Broni back to the vet in order to continue the treatment and potentially change it.

He could be uncomfortable because he has abdominal pain. If it continues than you should call your vet and give him/her an update. Your vet could prescribe gastric protectants and pain medications to help relieve his discomfort. Hope he feels better soon!

As long as your dog has all his vaccines and they are kept up to date, he won't get deadly diseases such as parvo, distemper, or rabies from your mother's dog. There could be another reason why your dog isn't eating or drinking, and has thrown up. He could have a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, could have a foreign body, or could have pancreatitis among other causes. Given that he has drank water and if it's stayed down, I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
