A small puppy protects mother's milk from disease. When a puppy begins to feed on his own, this protection is already scarce and, to avoid diseases, he needs to be vaccinated. Specialists do not even recommend taking out a puppy up to two months of age on the street: running along the street, an ungrafted baby can get infected with an infection that will be difficult to cope with. Let's find out when the puppy needs to do the first inoculation.
What vaccinations do puppies do?
Most often, the first vaccine is made an integrated vaccine that protects the puppy from such common diseases as carnivore plague, rabies, infectious hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvovirus gastroenteritis, and others.
Schedule vaccinations for puppies
At the age of two months the puppy is given the first inoculation. Since helminthic invasion greatly reduces the immunity of the puppy, 14 days before any vaccination, deworming of the puppy, for example, with a suspension of pyrantel, should be performed. Within 12 days after vaccination of the puppy, you can not bathe, walk out and even overfeed. At this time, the baby may have fever , diarrhea begins.
The second vaccine should be given to the puppy in three weeks with the same vaccine as the first time. Most often this vaccine is carried to animals much easier than the first. However, within 12 days after it the puppy should also not walk and communicate with other animals.
At the age of three months, the puppy should be vaccinated against rabies - a very dangerous disease that affects a person.
At the age of one year the puppy should be given a comprehensive vaccination and then vaccinate the animal with the same vaccine every year.
Remember that you can only vaccinate a perfectly healthy puppy. You can not get vaccinated if your baby's teeth change: you should wait until the end of this process. Each subsequent vaccination should be done only after preliminary de-worming.
