hes just really tired and not eatinggg since the second round of shots
It's completely understandable to be concerned about your puppy's behavior and health, especially after vaccinations. It's not uncommon for puppies to experience mild side effects such as lethargy and a temporary loss of appetite after receiving their shots. Typically, these symptoms resolve within a day or two.
Since your puppy has been experiencing these symptoms for three days, there are a few steps you can take at home to help him feel better:
Firstly, ensure that your puppy stays hydrated. Make sure he is drinking enough water, as dehydration can worsen lethargy and loss of appetite.
Secondly, you might want to offer more palatable food options to stimulate his appetite. Foods like boiled chicken or a bit of wet puppy food can be more enticing.
Additionally, provide a quiet and comfortable space for your puppy to rest. Reducing stress can significantly aid in his recovery.
It's also important to monitor his symptoms closely. Keep an eye out for any additional symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of pain or discomfort.
Given that your puppy is still very young and these symptoms have persisted for a few days, close monitoring is crucial. If his condition does not improve soon or if you notice any signs of worsening, it would be best to consult with a veterinarian. This will help rule out any underlying issues and ensure he receives the appropriate care.
If you have any further questions or need additional advice, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
