What do dog owners think of Eurican vaccines?
Here are some reviews of the owners who used to save their dogs of the Eurican vaccine: Review No. 1: “They brought in a Doberman puppy. Naturally, we decided to do all vaccinations to exclude contagious illnesses. The doctor recommended “Eurikan”. At the time of the injection, the puppy didn’t even he squeaked, but in the evening he looked bad: the temperature jumped, refused food, didn’t even want to drink, just lay sad. In the morning approached him, like a little mincemeat ate, even barked a couple of times, there was no temperature. That is, there were side effects, although short “; Review No. 2:” Previously stabbed the dog Hexadog, but the veterinarian suggested trying Eurikan same manufacturer. What can I say, a dog named Friend No I didn’t pick up infections for the whole year after vaccination (they did an injection “DHPPI2-LR”). So I have no doubt in efficiency. True to the injection site was a big bump of day 4, but then she passed “; Review No. 3:” I heard praise about Eurikane from friends with dogs. I decided to try my Max do this. I can not scold this drug because his comrades praise him, their dogs had no side effects. But to max the vaccine just doesn’t fit: refused to walk (a circle passed around the house and wandered to the porch), the nose was dry for a day, ate completely a little bit. Visually, the dog was not well. So what’s the deal the individual is suitable for one, but not for the other. ”
