1. Which type of puppies is suitable for immunity? Compared with adult dogs, puppies have lower immunity. The delicate physique is more susceptible to discomfort caused by environmental changes and is prone to sub-healthy state. The puppies rely more on their owners and are curious about the new environment, which reduces their active rest time. Coupled with the illusion brought to their owners by being active, the owners easily ignores the physiological rest time of the puppies.
So the puppy who just got home cannot get vaccinated immediately for immunization. First of all, you need to keep it at home for about 10 days. During these 10 days, it needs to adapt to the family environment and work and rest time, and adjust its physical condition through its own emergency mechanism. When ensuring that your physical condition is good within the week before immunization, you can take your dog to get immunization.
At this time, what your dog needs to do is immunity from infectious diseases, that is, what is commonly known as the second-couple seedlings, four-couple seedlings, etc. (the number size represents the number of prevented diseases). These vaccines are generally vaccinated with attenuated vaccines (certain specific diseases include inactivated vaccines: such as Leptospira inactivated vaccines), so they need to be completely healthy before they can be injected, otherwise the injection of vaccines will easily cause the onset of the disease.
2. Puppies of different ages have different immunization procedures
(1) The first option for puppies under 8 weeks of age is to get the double vaccine. These include prevention of canine distemper and canine parvovirus. These are the two most common infectious diseases. Puppies who are unfortunately sick not only have to suffer a lot, but also have a high cost of treatment. The most important thing is that the mortality rate is also high. Although the attenuated vaccines included in the secondary vaccine have fewer types, they are large in number, and the puppies will produce more antibodies after injection. Therefore, it is a better choice for young dogs or puppies with weak congenital constitutions when they are immunized for the first time.
The vaccines that can be selected for dogs of 10 weeks of age generally include two types of secondary vaccines and quadruple vaccines. The quadruple vaccine includes two viruses in the secondary vaccine. They also add adenovirus and parainfluenza viruses, which can prevent four diseases, but the number of strains of the same strain is reduced, which is a common feature of combined vaccines. Therefore, the vaccine injection should be based on the specific physical development status of the dog. Relatively speaking, those with slow growth and development can choose the second-linked vaccine. Others can start with the four-linked vaccine. If you are not easy to make a judgment, you can ask the doctor at the immune point to listen to their opinions.
If your baby is 12 weeks old and is in good health, the range of choices for dog vaccines is relatively large. You can choose the second-linked vaccine, the fourth-linked vaccine, the six-linked vaccine. Generally speaking, the usage rate of the four-linked vaccine and the six-linked vaccine is relatively high. One is based on the dog's physical condition, and the other is the owner's choice, because there will also be price differences in vaccines.
As weekly age increases, more choices for first-time vaccination vaccination will increase, which means that there are more types of viruses in the combined vaccines that are vaccinated. Of course, it should be combined with the dog's physical strength at that time.
(II) Strengthen immunity
The vaccination for strengthening immunity refers to the prevention and immunity of infectious diseases in dogs. Regarding the injection of rabies vaccine, dogs raised in mainland China can start injections over 12 weeks of age, and only once a year is enough. There is no need to strengthen immunity multiple times within the same year.
The second immunization will be performed after 3 to 4 weeks of first immunization, which is called the second immunization. At this time, the injected dog infectious disease vaccine is still the 4-fold vaccine or the 6-fold vaccine (the specific details are based on the dog's age and the doctor's recommendation).
If your dog's first vaccination is a 2-pair vaccine or your dog is more delicate, such as Yorkshire, Chihuahua, mini, etc., which are susceptible and refractory puppies, it is recommended to perform another three-pair 3 to 4 weeks after the second vaccination. It seems that you have spent one more vaccine and your dog suffered from an extra shot, but we must consider that once these puppies get sick, they will not only have to take blood and inject blood to treat infusion, but also endanger their lives. Don’t take it lightly, and lose the big picture because of the small. The three-don is also injected with infectious disease vaccines for dogs. You can choose more vaccines such as 6-fold or 8-fold.
Yuanyuan is a lucky puppy. Although she is infected with canine distemper virus, fortunately, her own resistance is not bad, so she has recovered. So don’t be lazy. You must prepare an immune program for the puppy, and you cannot miss it or do less!
Summary: Dogs in the puppy stage must at least twice inject dog infectious disease vaccine and once a rabies vaccine to be considered as completing immunity. A delicate dog needs to add an extra boost to immunity.
3. What should I pay attention to after immunization?
Adequate sleep is the first thing to do. Just like Baby, only after resting well can the body be sufficient. Secondly, it can appropriately increase the dog's water drinking and supplementation of immune polysaccharides. The significance is to speed up body metabolism and provide carrier supplements. Finally, it is not recommended to go out to play or walk. I even recommend that puppies are suitable for bathing after having at least two immunizations, because these are artificially controlled ways to reduce accidental infections.
