I was thinking this sounds more like parvo caught after vaccination. If it is parvo then you have a very very lucky puppy, a nasty virus which many people are negligent about, especially contamination.

Our pup got parvo. Amy got her to the vet right away. Parvo cna be fatal if not treated within hours of the first symptoms. The vet's office was closed for the day but he rushed in to save our puppy. Didn't charge any extra fee either. Dave, remember all are His creation. He takes care of all creatures great and small.

Dave,
I will certainly pray for you & Frida...my old girl Cocoa is 13 years old (Shepherd/Chow) & if I could clone a dog for kids, she would be the one. NEVER bites, but if ANY or ALL of the Grandkids are over, Cocoa is between them & the door or them & strangers ALWAYS! She also acts like a puppy when the kids are here & they can & DO climb all over her. We could all learn about love & loyalty from our 4 legged friends. I hope & pray your relationship with Frida has many more years in store.
Mike

dp,
have a Tri-Colored Red Aussie that survived Parvo as a puppy (it is a horrible sickness)and is one of the greatest dogs on the face of the earth, ever seen an 80lb lap dog, he thinks he is now.
We are praying for you and your family and especially for Frida, that she gets better no matter what is ailing her.
Keep your chin up.

BACK FROM THE VET'S
Well It's not parvo nor hepatitis. Just the reaction to the vaccine. No more shots for her, ever!
She woke up from her close-to-death state yesterday afternoon at 4pm EST like anything had happened.
However, she went right back to bed after a short walk outside. And slept the entire night. Just like a healthy pooch.
Today she's much much better. She ate a lill' yogurt and is drinking from her bowl all by herself so no longer do I need to torture her with 5ml of water every 10 mins being shot into her guts with the syringe.
I have to thank you all cause what happened yesterday was trully a MIRACLE. And, in it, all your prayers had a powerfull influence, that's for sure.
Thank you very much
Dave and Frida.

Dave please keep us informed on her recovery.....

Hey Dave,
Putting it all in perspective!
Kinda makes when they poop on the carpet, chew up your favorite wading shoes left outside to dry, and cry all night, seem a little trivial and a little more tolerable, doesn't it?
Glad to hear Frida is doing well and hope she stays on her quick path to recovery!

Well, I think we are on the "other side of the river" by now.
Frida is much much better today. She had been fasting for long long hours so today her only interest has been her food bowl. But still she is back at learning tricks which makes me so very happy.
I think the worst is over and from now she'll need to recover the weight she lost. And it was a lot in just a few hours.
The "blue eye syndrome" is going away too now that her body can focus on that.
oh, and Terry, Frida's temperament is so great, she have yet to chew on anything other than her toys. Being a quick learner I only need to tell her "NO" one time for her to get the idea.
But still when she got so sick I would have rather seen her roaming everywhere, even chewing on my rods, than lying there on her bed, one step away from the pearly gates.

So glad you're keeping us with you and Frida on this. I was worried.
Best wishes,
