Vaccination procedure for puppies

Puppies receive the first vaccine injection 45 days after birth, and then receive an additional vaccine injection for two consecutive months. After they become adults, they receive regular vaccinations every year. If vaccinated too early, maternal antibodies will neutralize the vaccine, affecting the immune effect and depleting the antibodies, which has the opposite effect. If vaccinated too late, it will not ensure health.

Specific schedule of immunization:

First dose of multiple doses: 7th to 8th week after birth

Second injection of multiple doses: 11th to 12th week after birth

The third multi-link injection: 15th to 16th week after birth. Rabies vaccine can be injected at this time

The Dutch Intervet puppy two-part vaccine can be injected on the 28th day after birth before the first dose of the multi-part vaccine. Lyme disease vaccine is recommended to be administered together with the second and third doses

Those who have received the above injection will be boosted once a year in the future (the specific immunization schedule depends on the vaccine used)

Things to note when getting vaccinated:

1. Please go to a regular pet hospital and have a professional veterinarian administer the vaccine. Many non-professionals are not familiar with vaccinations due to lack of professionalism. There are irregularities in storage and use, which can easily cause the vaccine to lose its immune effect.

2. Since the vaccine is attenuated, dogs can be immune to it under normal circumstances, but this is based on the dog's relatively healthy nature. If the dog's immunity is low or immunodeficient, the vaccine will not only fail to produce effective protection, but the original attenuated vaccine will even reverse the disease. Therefore, before injecting the vaccine, the doctor needs to conduct corresponding examinations on the dog to ensure that the dog is healthy before giving the vaccine.

3. Because the immunity of pets will be relatively weak in emergency situations, animals under stress are not suitable for vaccination. Changes in living environment or food are a kind of stress for puppies. Therefore, it is recommended that the dog be vaccinated half a month after it is familiar with the new environment.

4. Antibodies are immunogenic globulin. When the body is malnourished, such as vitamin A or E deficiency, it will also inhibit the body's normal protein synthesis, thereby reducing the immune response.

5. Because the dog’s immune ability will first decrease and then increase within a period of time after being vaccinated. To keep the pet healthy, do not bathe the dog, change the environment or food, or take the dog out to play within a week after the injection. It is generally recommended to take the dog out for a walk after it is fully vaccinated.

6. Within three days after vaccination, if antibiotics, anthelmintics and other drugs are taken orally, it may also lead to immune failure.

7. It is normal for dogs after injection to have problems such as increased body temperature, depression, decreased appetite, pain, etc., and will generally be fine in about 2 hours.

8. Vaccines may cause allergies. Although the probability is very low, it is still possible. If there is itching all over the body or swelling of the face, you need to inject desensitization injections. Therefore, after the vaccination, you need to observe at the pet hospital for half a day.Hours, make sure everything is fine before leaving. If you have a reaction in the short term, you need to seek medical treatment in time.
