adsuk Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hi all, just a quickie, have phoned around a few vets today, and some are saying different to others regarding the puppies first vaccinations, a couple of vets have said the first injection is at 6 weeks then the second is 2 weeks after that, yet other vets have said 8 weeks and then 2 weeks later, so which one is right, or are they both ok?? thanks, Adam xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siberianandy Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 if the first one is at 6 weeks the breeder will give this one. how ever both are right as different vets use different vaccines some will even say 8 and 12 weeks so just depends on the vets. all our dogs have been done at 8 weeks then 2 or 3 weeks later depending on the vets we used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianWolf Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Suka was done at 6, 9, and 12 my vet told me that the week 6 usualy has little to no affect or just wears off quicker and we have to get another one. i have never heard this before but i guess she gets another booster when she goes back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bec Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 If you consider the latest research, puppies receive antibodies through their mother's milk. This natural protection can last 8‑14 weeks. Puppies and kittens should not be vaccinated at less than 8 weeks. Maternal immunity will neutralize the vaccine and little protection (0‑38%) will be produced. Vaccination at 6 weeks will, however, DELAY the timing of the first effective vaccine. Vaccination given 2 weeks apart SUPPRESS rather than stimulate the immune system. A series of vaccinations is given starting at 8 weeks and given 3‑4 weeks apart up to 16 weeks of age. Another vaccination given sometime after 6 months of age (usually at 1 year 4 months) will provide LIFETIME IMMUNITY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
