So I just gave my 2 adult dogs shots from the feed store like I always do , but I gave them to my puppy for the first time , these are her first shots , and she pooped liquid poop . It was green and VERY smelly . I also changed her food to a more healthy dog food . She also got her 2ed bath today . so I'm wondering if its a reaction to her shots or just all the crazy and weird things .... Please help.
I've given all my dogs feed store shot all there life except the rabies . Witch I got at the vet .
Should I be real worried?
She is a 10 week Pitbull terrier if that helps .
And this time my mom got the shots and she was in traffic and they went un refrigerated for 1 or so hour . Does that effect anything ?
Answer
First when you get a puppy its advised to deworm the dog before anything.
Second its always a good idea to do the deworming day 1 then on day seven you can do the vaccination then on day 14 you can start of flea prevent/heartworm.
You mention that you changed the food as well which should have been dong first of after all the above steps. The reason for this is the reason you explain above it helps to monitor what reaction come from what.
Third you need to be more realistic about the timing of everything. On a piece of paper write everything you have done from day one when you gave the bath and what time and label them 1 to whatever number is last. Then mark exactly when your puppy started to have green poop. Recall every detail you can about the previous days before. What kind of food are you feeding? what treats or bones.
Known causes of green feces in dogs are intestinal disorders and parasite infections. The stool appears slimy and green in color. Watch for symptoms of constipation, straining to defecate or diarrhea, as it helps the vet establish a correct diagnosis. In certain cases, parasites go undetected in the first fecal exam, and the vet may recommend a second stool examination. Green feces in dogs could also be attributed to ingestion of grass or allergies caused by certain ingredients in food.

Shots are not what case green poop. The only reaction that a vaccination will give is a large lump or swollen face. Also only one shot is given 3 times and each shot being 3 weeks apart so if you have given more than one vaccination on one day then you need to address this to your vet NOW.
Finally the vaccination MUST REMAIN COLD and given within 10 minutes of removing from the ice box because the life culture inside the vile dies if the temp warms up. Making the shot defective and a waste of money. The feed store should have been able to provide ice packs to transport home. If not then you will need to bring your own next time. Because the shot was allowed to warm up again we assume it is defective and now your puppy is still susceptible to diseases such as parvo. I suggest a visit to the vet in order for them to do a fecal. Most vet will allow you to bring it in without an appointment and tell you the results later. This cost no more than 15 dollars or so and will give indication if there is presence of parasites. I have always given my dogs this schedule below.
Week 6: Deworming with verbantel or drontal plus
Week 7: Treatment for fleas with capstar if needed
Week 8: First Vaccination
Week 11: Second Vaccination
Week 14: Third Vaccination
Week 16: Another capstar treatment/ or first dose of comfortis or trifexis
Depending on your area you may need a rabies vaccination which is required by a local vet. You can give this during week 17-18.
Finally you can give the dog a rest but because puppies are young and each environment is different. You may require a kennel cough vaccination which is usually only required for boarding but can also be present in dog parks, dog sitters or even veterinarian offices. Because in my area (hawaii) we do not have rabies but we have SERIOUS problems with lepto I will give my puppy an additional vaccination around 7-8 months of age. Then a fifth at age one. Then annually as most vets will recommend.
As for food it is alwasy recommended to slowly incorporate new food and mix with the food given prior to getting the puppy to ensure that the dogs tummy does not become upset from such a sudden change on top of a whole new environment ...on top of all this medication.
Anyway hope this information helps.

Is it true that pitbulls were crossbreed?
Q. i heard they were crossbreed wit a tiger or sumthing like that but i think thats just a myth..if so then how were pitbulls created cuz i heard they were an experiment or sumthing like that
Answer
It is a myth! Pits can be very nice dogs. If they are bred to fight, they are going to do it. A lot of pits make good pets.
The American Pit Bull Terrier is a pure bred dog! They can be UKC registered. The AKC does register American Staffs which are related to Pits.
AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER
Official U.K.C. Breed Standard
Revised October 21, 2004
History
Sometime during the nineteenth century, dog fanciers in England, Ireland, and Scotland began to experiment with crosses between Bulldogs and Terriers, looking for a dog that combined the gameness of the terrier with the strength and athleticism of the Bulldog. The result was a dog that embodied all of the virtues attributed to great warriors: strength, indomitable courage, and gentleness with loved ones. Immigrants brought these bull and terrier crosses to the United States. The American Pit Bull Terrier's many talents did not go unnoticed by farmers and ranchers who used their APBTs for protection, as catch dogs for semi-wild cattle and hogs, to hunt, to drive livestock, and as family companions. Today, the American Pit Bull Terrier continues to demonstrate its versatility, competing successfully in Obedience, Tracking, Agility, Protection, and Weight Pulls, as well as Conformation.
The United Kennel Club was the first registry to recognize the American Pit Bull Terrier. U.K.C. founder C. Z. Bennett assigned U.K.C. registration number 1 to his own APBT, Bennett's Ring in 1898.
General Appearance
The American Pit Bull Terrier is a medium-sized, solidly built, short-coated dog with smooth, well-defined musculature. This breed is both powerful and athletic. The body is just slightly longer than tall, but bitches may be somewhat longer in body than dogs. The length of the front leg (measured from point of elbow to the ground) is approximately equal to one-half of the dog's height at the withers. The head is of medium length, with a broad, flat skull, and a wide, deep muzzle. Ears are small to medium in size, high set, and may be natural or cropped. The relatively short tail is set low, thick at the base and tapers to a point. The American Pit Bull Terrier comes in all colors and color patterns. This breed combines strength and athleticism with grace and agility and should never appear bulky or muscle-bound or fine-boned and rangy.
Characteristics
The essential characteristics of the American Pit Bull Terrier are strength, confidence, and zest for life. This breed is eager to please and brimming over with enthusiasm. APBTs make excellent family companions and have always been noted for their love of children. Because most APBTs exhibit some level of dog aggression and because of its powerful physique, the APBT requires an owner who will carefully socialize and obedience train the dog. The breed's natural agility makes it one of the most capable canine climbers so good fencing is a must for this breed. The APBT is not the best choice for a guard dog since they are extremely friendly, even with strangers. Aggressive behavior toward humans is uncharacteristic of the breed and highly undesirable. This breed does very well in performance events because of its high level of intelligence and its willingness to work.
The American Pit Bull Terrier has always been capable of doing a wide variety of jobs so exaggerations or faults should be penalized in proportion to how much they interfere with the dog's versatility.
Head
The APBT head is unique and a key element of breed type. It is large and broad, giving the impression of great power, but it is not disproportionate to the size of the body. Viewed from the front, the head is shaped like a broad, blunt wedge. When viewed from the side, the skull and muzzle are parallel to one another and joined by a well defined, moderately deep stop. Supraorbital arches over the eyes are well defined but not pronounced. The head is well chiseled, blending strength, elegance, and character.
SKULL - The skull is large, flat or slightly rounded, deep, and broad between the ears. Viewed from the top, the skull tapers just slightly toward the stop. There is a deep median furrow that diminishes in depth from the stop to the occiput. Cheek muscles are prominent but free of wrinkles. When the dog is concentrating, wrinkles form on the forehead, which give the APBT his unique expression.
MUZZLE - The muzzle is broad and deep with a very slight taper from the stop to the nose, and a slight falling away under the eyes. The length of muzzle is shorter than the length of skull, with a ratio of approximately 2:3. The topline of the muzzle is straight. The lower jaw is well developed, wide and deep. Lips are clean and tight.
Faults: Snipey muzzle; flews; weak lower jaw.
TEETH - The American Pit Bull Terrier has a complete set of evenly spaced, white teeth meeting in a scissors bite.
Fault: Level bite.
Serious Faults: Undershot, or overshot bite; wry mouth; missing teeth (this does not apply to teeth that have been lost or removed by a veterinarian).
NOSE - The nose is large with wide, open nostrils. The nose may be any color.
EYES - Eyes are medium size, round to almond-shaped, and set well apart and low on the skull. All colors are equally acceptable except blue, which is a serious fault. Haw should not be visible.
Serious Faults: Bulging eyes; both eyes not matched in color; blue eyes.
EARS - Ears are high set and may be natural or cropped without preference. If natural, semi-prick or rose are preferred. Prick or flat, wide ears are not desired.
Neck
The neck is of moderate length and muscular. There is a slight arch at the crest. The neck widens gradually from where it joins the skull to where it blends into well laid-back shoulders. The skin on the neck is tight and without dewlap.
Faults: Neck too short and thick; thin or weak neck; ewe neck; dewlap.
Forequarters
The shoulder blades are long, wide, muscular, and well laid back. The upper arm is roughly equal in length to the shoulder blade and joins it at an apparent right angle.
The forelegs are strong and muscular. The elbows are set close to the body. Viewed from the front, the forelegs are set moderately wide apart and perpendicular to the ground. The pasterns are short, powerful, straight, and flexible. When viewed in profile, the pasterns are nearly erect.
Faults: Upright or loaded shoulders; elbows turned outward or tied-in; down at the pasterns; front legs bowed; wrists knuckled over; toeing in or out.
Body
The chest is deep, well filled in, and moderately wide with ample room for heart and lungs, but the chest should never be wider than it is deep. The forechest does not extend much beyond the point of shoulder. The ribs extend well back and are well sprung from the spine, then flattening to form a deep body extending to the elbows. The back is strong and firm. The topline inclines very slightly downward from the withers to a broad, muscular, level back. The loin is short, muscular and slightly arched to the top of the croup, but narrower than the rib cage and with a moderate tuck-up. The croup is slightly sloping downward.
Hindquarters
The hindquarters are strong, muscular, and moderately broad. The rump is well filled in on each side of the tail and deep from the pelvis to the crotch. The bone, angulation, and musculature of the hindquarters are in balance with the forequarters. The thighs are well developed with thick, easily discerned muscles. Viewed from the side, the hock joint is well bent and the rear pasterns are well let down and perpendicular to the ground. Viewed from the rear, the rear pasterns are straight and parallel to one another.
Faults: Narrow hindquarters; hindquarters shallow from pelvis to crotch; lack of muscle; straight or over angulated stifle joint; cow hocks; sickle hocks; bowed legs.
Feet
The feet are round, proportionate to the size of the dog, well arched, and tight. Pads are hard, tough, and well cushioned. Dewclaws may be removed.
Fault: Splayed feet.
Tail
The tail is set on as a natural extension of the topline, and tapers to a point. When the dog is relaxed, the tail is carried low and extends approximately to the hock. When the dog is moving, the tail is carried level with the backline. When the dog is excited, the tail may be carried in a raised, upright position (challenge tail), but never curled over the back (gay tail).
Fault: Long tail (tail tip passes beyond point of hock).
Serious faults: Gay tail (not to be confused with challenge tail); kinked tail.
Disqualification: Bobbed tail.
Coat
The coat is glossy and smooth, close, and moderately stiff to the touch.
Faults: Curly, wavy, or sparse coat.
Disqualification: Long coat.
Color
Any color, color pattern, or combination of colors is acceptable, except for merle.
Disqualification: Merle
Height and Weight
The American Pit Bull Terrier must be both powerful and agile so actual weight and height are less important than the correct proportion of weight to height. Desirable weight for a mature male in good condition is between 35 and 60 pounds. Desirable weight for a mature female in good condition is between 30 and 50 pounds. Dogs over these weights are not to be penalized unless they are disproportionately massive or rangy.
Gait
The American Pit Bull Terrier moves with a jaunty, confident attitude, conveying the impression that he expects any minute to see something new and exciting. When trotting, the gait is effortless, smooth, powerful, and well coordinated, showing good reach in front and drive behind. When moving, the backline remains level with only a slight flexing to indicate suppleness. Viewed from any position, legs turn neither in nor out, nor do feet cross or interfere with each other. As speed increases, feet tend to converge toward center line of balance.
Faults: Legs not moving on the same plane; legs over reaching; legs crossing over in front or rear; rear legs moving too close or touching; rolling; pacing; paddling; sidewinding; hackney action; pounding.
Disqualifications
Unilateral or bilateral cryptorchid. Viciousness or extreme shyness. Unilateral or bilateral deafness. Bobbed tail. Albinism. Merle. Long coat.
Note: Although some level of dog aggression is characteristic of this breed, handlers will be expected to comply with U.K.C. policy regarding dog temperament at U.K.C. events.
It is a myth! Pits can be very nice dogs. If they are bred to fight, they are going to do it. A lot of pits make good pets.
