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,

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

I'm so very very shocked and sad to read this now, my heart goes out to you and you have Rippley in my thoughts and you in my prayers. :(

Thanks, Nicky. Grief is such a rollercoaster ride. I appreciate the kindness...

Oh Cindy, I am so sorry to read this.  My doods and I are sending good thoughts for a successful treatment plan.

Cindy ~ I just saw your post come across the main page.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I could tell from your posts on DK how much you loved Rippley and he had to know that too. I like your idea of a Rainbow Bridge Group to memorialize our beloved doodles and I hope you will continue to be a member of DK.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

[Cindy and Olive (Ollie)]

Thank you Linda for your kind words...

Cindy, I thought about leaving DK for a few days when I had lost Starlit.  It took me 4 days to even talk about it. Then, I realized, I had established some of the best human friendships of my life here on DK. I needed those friends because of our loss but I also  never wanted to lose my friendships either. Stay

So very sorry to hear your sad news. It must have been a huge shock to lose him so quickly. Hugs to you and your family.

Thank you Stella

Cindy, this is such heartbreaking news.  I'm so sorry.  I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that you gave Rippley such a wonderful life!

Thanks, Jane. We did make him happy - that I know, thanks for saying that and it is a comfort. Pet G and M extra for us xo
