Thanks for reaching out with your question about the Merial Canine Lymphoma Type-B Vaccine. It's understandable to wonder about new or unfamiliar treatments for your pet.
Lymphoma is a common type of cancer in dogs, and it can affect various parts of the body. The Merial Canine Lymphoma Type-B Vaccine is a newer development in veterinary medicine aimed at helping manage or prevent certain forms of lymphoma by utilizing the dog’s immune system. The vaccine works by stimulating the body's immune response to fight off B-cells that are turning cancerous.
While this vaccine is promising for certain cases, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution and might be recommended in specific situations, such as dogs already diagnosed with certain types of lymphoma, rather than as a general preventative measure.
At home, keep your dog comfortable by ensuring they have a balanced diet and stress-free environment. Watch closely for any side effects if your dog has received this vaccine, such as swelling at the injection site, fever, or lethargy, and notify your vet if these occur.
If you notice symptoms like difficulty breathing, significant swelling, or sudden changes in behavior, seek immediate veterinary care as these could be signs of a more serious reaction.
For personalized advice on whether this vaccine is suitable for your dog, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets here on Dial A Vet. They'll be able to provide more detailed information tailored to your pet's unique health needs.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
