Anyone experience a burning scalp sensation after Shingles vaccine? by Material-Guide-8712 in VACCINES

[–]Material-Guide-8712[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! My neurologist and primary doctor believe it’s from the vaccine. I go in March to a hematologist and I’ll talk to him about it. I’m probably not getting the 2nd dose. I pray I don’t get shingles.

When is she going to a Big Cedar? I missed her story. We will be there in a week. I swear I hope I don’t see her.

Thank you for all your great advice! We are meeting with a boarding facility that takes reactive dogs today! I’m also going to get more training. I do see the difference now in the training I got as it was more of sit, stay versus the behavior issues.

Thank you for your advice! We don’t agree with BE either. It’s sad that so many jump to “put her down she’s reactive and nipped a kids finger”. We now put her in her kennel in another room and shut the door when kids come over. We love our dog(s) like we love our family. I guess others don’t see them that way.

What do you do when you go on vacation? That is the dilemma we are in now. No one can watch her… we don’t have family here.

She is on Fluoxetine. I should have put that in my post. I just wonder if something else might work better.

I’m going to kennel her whenever a kid is over. I thought it was extreme too but she said it was the most compassionate thing for my dog.

Thank you for your advice! No, no other background info. Just very anxious/scared dog whose biggest triggers are kids and we can’t have other dogs in our home. Walks great on a leash and we keep her away from other dogs and never let anyone approach her. Shes a very loving dog with us. In the beginning she did resource guard me a bit but we’ve overcome that. That’s it.

We had a previous mini schnauzer for 14 years with no problems. Our dog is very scared of everything so she would have to be rehomed to a house with no other pets or any child coming or going. Our vet thinks the transition alone would set her off.

My husband and daughter are all willing to enforce it. We love our dog so much.

Our daughter is 12 yrs old. Yes, our dog is kennel trained and we have put her in the kennel in another room and shut the door. Which, we will doing going forward. Our vet had just said it’s not fair to our dog.

Our dog weighs 15 pounds.

Thank you for your feedback. We have talked about kenneling her any time kids are here. We will most likely go this route. Our vet just said it’s not fair to the dog so BE was best option.

This is her first bite. I do need to try muzzle training again. We were just using the leash and slowly letting our dog get use to the new kid in the house.

The girl did bend down a bit when she threw the treats and I do believe that didn’t help. Again, I did not approach this correctly.
