Vaccination Recommendations
Give DHPP
at just or soon after 12 weeks of age; administer without stress related
happenings in the puppy’s life (see chart below). Wait at least
three weeks to administer another DHPP innoculation.
Please
note the urgency of inoculations is not that of what it has been in the
past for most regions of the USA. A bit of research and discussion with
those breeders that are raising their dogs holistically will help calm the
thoughts of urgency for a new puppy owner. Work with your local
veterinarian that promotes good health without extra drugs. Wait, if
possible for another 3 weeks at least after second puppy DHPP to have the
rabies vaccine administered. Wait as long as you can for that
vaccine to be given.
Leptobactrin - we do not recommend.
Corona Virus Vaccine - we do not recommend. If required by trainer or
kennel, give after 22 weeks.
Bordatella Vaccine - we do not recommend. If required by trainer or
kennel, give after 22 weeks.
Rabies Vaccine – not to be given at same time as any other vaccine or
during stress or surgery.
General Precautions During Vaccination Period:
Don’t administer drugs, flea preventive, heartworm preventive or
wormers.
Don’t give any vaccines to a bitch "in season".
Don’t give any vaccines to a pregnant or lactating bitch. Don’t
incur undue stress.
Don’t introduce air travel. Don't board outside the known home.
Note:
Sick dogs are absolutely those on medication. The instructions on
the vaccine vials cautions that the vaccine be administered to healthy
dogs. Please be warned.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
VACCINATION:
- Don’t
vaccinate under stress; corticosteriods inhibit lymphocyte
metabolism and cell growth. Adrenalin releases lymphocytic AMP
(cyclic) which is immunosuppressive. Stress decreases the activity
of natural killer cells.
- Don’t
vaccinate within 2 weeks of surgery. Anesthetics are
immunosuppressive.
- Don’t
vaccinate before 6 weeks of age. MLV vaccine can cause encephalitis
in pups under 4 wks.
- Don’t
routinely vaccinate older animals after 6 months of age.
- Don’t
administer multiple virus vaccines to dogs and cats in multiple
animal households. Virus shedding can create increased virus
particles in the environment.
- Don’t
vaccinate sick animals or those who have been exposed to disease.
- Don’t
vaccinate during glucocorticoid therapy. Be cautious with
butazolidin, estrogens and insecticidal drugs including heartworm
preventives.
- Don’t
vaccinate animals with tumors, heart or kidney disease.
