Reactions to Dog Vaccinations
Did you know that dogs, like people, are starting to have adverse reactions to vaccinations? The Weimaraner Club of America issued a warning in 2005 to Weim owners. Weimaraner puppies could have a reaction (which resembles an immune response) to a vaccine. If your puppy has a reaction, he might develop a fever, elevated white blood count and inflammation in tissues in joints. If he has a reaction once, he is more likely to have a reaction with the next shot, and each reaction becomes more severe. In addition, there is a chance that your dog could suffer permanent damage from a vaccination--just as people can get autism or guillan barre syndrome.
Fortunately, most Weimaraners are strong and healthy dogs. If you have a healthy puppy, take a few precautions to make sure she does not develop problems, and use common sense, your Weimaraner puppy will probably never develop one of these common dog health problems!
