6 week old just vaccinated puppies are sick

My puppies were vaccinated three days ago and are sleeping a lot and pooping white mucous no color, no form looks like thick milk in it and it stinks really bad.

They have been weaned for three days and mom is not interested in letting them nurse..
They are eating Eukanuba Small breed Puppy mixed with warm water and have fresh water all the time.

They try to vomit but nothing comes up.
I have two that seem to feel worse than the others.. they just want to sleep so I leave them alone. I try to make sure they eat and drink.



Hi Janet
Many puppies have a reaction of some sort to their puppy shots but this doesn't sound normal - it is extreme and not something I've seen in a litter myself.

I'd definitely recommend that you take these little guys back to your vet as soon as you can. He needs to take a look at them to find out what is going on.

It's possible that they've picked up Coccidiosis or some other type of illness or infection. I'm afraid only a vet can make a diagnosis though and get them the treatment they need, so have them checked out asap.

Best of luck, hope they're doing much better soon.
