Is Your Puppy Immune?

Healthy Dog Foods

<p>        
          Pups acquire their very own initial immunizations through  their mother’s first milk containing colostrums, but then will need a series of three or four vaccinations to maintain immunization to prevent distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. In some areas, a leptospirosis shot is included. The inoculations should be spaced three to four weeks apart, and it is important to complete the series, because the immunization passed on to the puppies by their mother may override the early inoculations. The puppy will have a fragile protection from these illnesses if the required immunizations are not properly received..

           <i>Galaxy inoculation</i> is the name of vaccinations where the animal doctor gives several vaccines at the same time. Don’t be alarmed if your puppy exhibits signs of grogginess soon after, or experiences bulge in the area of the shot.

<p>           The DHPP (or DHLPP) inoculation demands an once-a-year booster if your family pet is to continue being immune. Most vets will mail out reminders to their clients when inoculations are due, but it’s a good idea to mark the date on your own calendar just to be safe.

          Years back, a rabies vaccine was given when the puppy turns six months of age. Now, even as young as 3 to 4 months can receive the vaccine. The first rabies shot is valid for one year; thereafter, if given promptly, rabies inoculation are good for two or three years, depending on your state of residence and your own veterinarian’s recommendation and preference.

           Particular other inoculations are suggested and should be discussed with your veterinarian. Lyme vaccine, given in an initial series of inoculations, is available, as is coronavirus vaccine. If your puppy (or adult dog) is to be kenneled at any time during the year, you need to immunize him against bordatella (kennel cough). An intranasal vaccine usually is administered every year to fend off this upper respiratory ailment.
