my baby is not feeling well, please help

Posted : 7/7/2008 9:44:34 AM

My toy poodle is not acting normal since yesterday after I gave her a bath. I don't know what is it but I'm sure she is not feeling well. She feels hotter than normal, she doesn't eat, doesn't play, doesn't whine in the morning like she usually does, doesn't pull on leash, ect.. She just want to stay in her house (or next to me) all the time.

I took her to the vet for her vaccinations (DA2PPvL-Cv + Bordetella) and to get her ears plucked last Thursday. She was ok then. I took her to dog park during the weekend. She was ok then. She was ok before I gave her a bath. She did shiver after I gave her a bath. I blew dry her as usual. I'm not sure what it was but it seems like she's having a cold/fewer? Do dogs have cold/fever after bath? or could this be from the vaccinations? What should I do or can I do to make her feel better? Should I bring her to the vet? Thank you for all your help.

If she feels warm, I'd get a rectal temp on her if you can and call the vet. It could be a reaction to the vaccinations, that's a real whopper she got. But if she's running a fever and not herself, you definitely want to check in with the vet. I hope it's nothing and she feels better soon.

thank you BCMixs!

My baby is getting better!! But..she started to cough/choke a few times last night. She never done that before. Could this be due to her Borte. Vac?

Thanks.

Hmm, I'm not sure. My dogs have never coughed after their bordetella shots. You might just call the vet and ask them if it's something to be concerned about. Glad to hear she appears to be feeling better!
