    Unfortunately the vaccines may have contributed to some physical reactions and problems. Especially if he received the standard 4 in 1 shots. Many toy breeds do not tolerate vaccines well at all. Plus, unfortunately such things have been found in vaccines (both ones given to humans and animals) as hair (both human and rat) Feces, both human and non-human, mercury and other things that are not supposed to be IN the vaccine at all.

    I would suggest that you get a sample of the stool, perhaps one of the urine as well, and take both samples and DOG to the vet tomorrow pronto. This is a very young dog, and these are symptoms that may be from something that needs to be checked out. Your puppy can become dehydrated very quickly at this age and that is not a good thing.

    You may want to check his temp 100.4 to 102.2 is normal...any higher and you need to get him to a vet stat.

    Being that the dog is so young, it is very important that you get Mr. Bojangles to veterenarian as soon as possible. Are there any other symptons? If there is blood in the stool, the dog may have parvovirus, which is fatal. Blood is not always a symptom of parvo, however. Again, get that puppy to a vet! It could be something as simple as a need to change the dog's diet, but don't chance it.
