Post-Lyme vaccine saga... Coincidence?

[Cindy and Olive (Ollie)]

Hi Doodle Friends, hoping you can help us out on behalf of Rippley. Sorry it's so long/detailed...
Tuesday was Rip's due Lyme vaccine and he hasn't had any reactions to any vaccine yet, but he seemed a bit tired and that was fine as I chalked it up to the vaccine...
Wednesday he still seemed a bit tired and only ate dinner all day (it's not that unusual for him to skip breakfast lately). Poops were normal, sleeping, drinking well and so I wasn't too concerned...
Thursday he had a play date where he didn't play much at all and then we took him to a park in the PM where he snagged some old chicken bone from someone's picnic left as trash! Aargh. I was able to retrieve some (but apparently not all) from his mouth (foreshadowing here...) :) But by evening my worry meter was full throttle as he refused meals - though he ate treats/drank - and was really tired.
Friday (this morning) we called the vet but he seems more energy, brighter. He ate maybe 1/4 cup kibble/yogurt breakfast. He is drinking and taking treats. Vet made appointment for 11:30 tomorrow in case... Then around 9:30 he pooped out about 2" of a skinny split chicken bone. He seemed more food interested - trolling the kitchen and happy to take a treat but not really his meal. The 1 o'clock poop was a bit mushy with lots of scooting going on (unusual). I'm hoping he won't turn to more mush or diarrhea now.
I can't figure out if it was vaccine related or nauseous/irritable stomach related. And why the mush poo now, when he seems to be acting better?
Thanks for any insights/advice. Best,

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I am certain that Sheri and Lynn wouldn't mind a bit.

Oh Cindy, I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart hurts for you. I am giving Bailey extra hugs and sending some your way as well! May your sweet Rippley be running pain free over the Rainbow Bridge!

Thank you xo

[Leslie, Yogi & Maci Bear]

My heart breaks for you Cindy. Words can't express how badly I feel for you. It was evident in your posts how much you loved Rippley. May you find peace in your memories of your wonderful boy.

[Cindy and Olive (Ollie)]

Thanks for saying that Leslie, so true.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I am just now reading this discussion and I am so sorry for your loss. I really believe that the right dog finds you and even though his time was short on this earth, Rippley will always have a place in your heart and you were the better for knowing him. You loved him and that is what our dogs need most from us. Hugs to you!

[Cindy and Olive (Ollie)]

Thanks for the kindness, Laurie. I will have to read another of your humorous blogs for some helpful giggles at these low points- it has been a roller coaster but neighbors and friends who loved him are so supportive, as DK friends here. Thanks again. Pet Fudge and Vern for us.

Cindy, I am so sorry. While no time is never enough, your time with Rippley was such a 'blink,' it makes it seem even more unfair.  May your memories of his wonderful nature give you much comfort.

[Cindy and Olive (Ollie)]

They do, thanks so much Nancy

[Janet & Jaxson]

I am so so, sorry to hear the news of Rippley's passing. Even though I have only been a member of Doodlekisses for a short time, I have been following the site since before I got my ALD, Jaxson. I remember admiring pictures of Rip, thinking he was so cute and hoping I would get a Doodle like him. So I was shocked and so saddened to read about Ripley. My heart breaks for you. I know you have wonderful memories of him that will live forever. And I know he knew you loved him. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you all.

[Cindy and Olive (Ollie)]

That's so kind, thank you. Please give Jaxson an extra snuggle for us.
