Time to vaccinate puppies

Puppies receive the first vaccine injection 45 days after birth, and then once every two consecutive months. Adult dogs need to be vaccinated regularly 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.
The following is a vaccination schedule given by the coach:
First dose of multiple doses: 7th to 8th week after birth
Second dose of multiple doses: 11th week after birth By the 12th week
The third dose of polyplex: 15th to 16th week after birth. At this time, the rabies vaccine can be injected at the same time
The Dutch Intervet puppy two-combination vaccine (vaccine to prevent canine distemper parvovirus) can be injected on the 28th day after birth before the first dose of the multiple vaccine.
The above injections will be boosted once a year (the specific immunization program depends on the vaccine used)

What is a vaccine

The so-called vaccine is a weakened virus (except (Except for rabies vaccine), the virulence of the virus after special treatment is weakened and is not enough to cause disease in animals, but it can activate the body's immune response and cause the body to produce antibodies to prevent the invasion of the virus, thus creating resistance to the virus. .


Precautions for puppy vaccination

1. Go to a regular pet hospital and get vaccinated by a professional veterinarian.
ps: Due to lack of professionalism, many non-professionals have irregularities in the storage and use of vaccines, which can easily cause the vaccine to lose its immune effect.
2. Dogs need to be in good health.
Because the vaccine is attenuated, 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, doctors need to conduct appropriate examinations on dogs before injecting vaccines.
3. The hospital should provide an immunization record book and remind you of the time for your next injection.
4. Because the dog’s body’s immunity will first decrease and then increase within a period of time after being vaccinated. In order to ensure the health of the dog, 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 being fully vaccinated. (Although your dog’s ancestors may rebel)
6. If you take oral antibiotics, anthelmintics and other drugs within three days after vaccination, it may also lead to immune failure.
7. It is normal for dogs to experience problems such as increased body temperature, depression, loss of appetite, pain and other problems after injection. Generally, they will be fine in about 2 hours.
8. Vaccines may cause allergies. Although the chance 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 the pet in the pet hospital for half an hour to make sure that everything is fine before leaving. If there is a reaction in the short term, you need to go to the doctor in time.
