[Share kiki's experience in vaccination ~]

Foreword

When Kiki was about 2 months old, he was taken home from the pet store. At that time, the owner of the pet store said that Kiki had been vaccinated twice and was short of the last one, but he could not produce the vaccine card.

Vaccine profile sheet

Since she was a child, Kiki has been vaccinated with Pfizer's vaccine, so Kiki has known about Pfizer's vaccine. List a brief introduction of Pfizer's vaccine for everyone to see.

What Kiki injects is quintuple + rabies vaccine, the vaccine characteristic of Pfizer: The time that take effect is fast, after all vaccine injects, can produce resistance immediately.

Time of vaccination

Pfizer Weijia vaccine 6-week-old puppies can be vaccinated, Kiki was received at home for about 10 days, to vaccinate the first vaccine, need to be vaccinated three times in a row, each time at an interval of 3 weeks, after the last injection, you can inject a single rabies vaccine, and then vaccinate a quintuple + rabies vaccine every year. December is the time for vaccination every year.

Each injection of vaccine should be carried out strictly according to the time standard, and the interval should not be too short or too long, so as not to cause the failure of the vaccine.

Under what circumstances should vaccination be postponed?

The vaccine itself is a weak virus, so in many cases immunity should be delayed to avoid the opposite effect:

1. When the dog has just arrived at home and changed its environment, it should be observed for a period of time, without any discomfort, and only when the body and spirit are in good condition, can it be vaccinated.

2. Dogs with physical discomfort, such as colds, diarrhea, anemia, malnutrition, post-illness/post-operative rehabilitation, etc., can not be vaccinated at the moment.

3. For dogs that have just finished deworming, the toxins secreted by parasites will reduce the immune effect, so they should do a good job of deworming for dogs before vaccination.

4. Pregnant dogs, the general vaccine instructions will be clearly marked with the words "pregnant dogs are forbidden", pregnant dogs vaccination may affect the health of the fetus, or even lead to malformations and other problems, should wait until the end of lactation before vaccination.

Precautions for Vaccination

1. Bring the vaccine book to register each vaccination, except for the first vaccination.

2. Choose a regular hospital institution, and the vaccine should be kept in a refrigerated cabinet of 2-8 degrees to avoid the failure of the vaccine.

3. The dose of vaccine for each injection is the same regardless of the size/weight of the dog, so the vaccine for each injection should be new and unopened.

4, the vaccine is a subcutaneous injection, generally pull up the dog's back neck skin (relatively loose), by the parents holding the dog fixed, to prevent the dog from struggling, by the doctor's injection, there are also injections in the pp site, the most important is subcutaneous injection, not muscle can not hit the nerve, so do not easily try at home, Kiki is now very cooperative injection, more calm ~ ~

5. After injection, it is recommended to stay in the hospital for a period of time, observe the dog's reaction, and leave the hospital without discomfort symptoms.

Precautions after vaccination

1, after the vaccine, Kiki will be relatively weak, observation is not a big problem, then do not go to make noise to him, let him have a good rest, the basic half a day can recover.

2. In terms of diet, it is recommended to feed digestible and light food for several meals after vaccination, so as to avoid physical discomfort caused by gastrointestinal burden. Probiotics can be fed to protect intestinal health and help digestion.

This probiotic is a two-way regulation of enzymes and probiotics, which is resistant to temperatures below 40 degrees and easy to store.

3, may be found in the vaccination site of a small protruding lump, Kiki had two times, once in the back of the neck, touch is not allowed to touch, accidentally touched will cry out in pain, but the spirit is very good, 2-3 hours later the lump and symptoms disappeared on their own, there is an injection on pp, home found Kiki walking a little unnatural, Touch the injection site also has a small lump, will hurt, the next day is good, parents observe the pet if 1-2 days have not recovered, they should be sent to the hospital for examination.

4. Do not take a bath within 7 days after the vaccine, so as to avoid catching a cold, which will lead to the failure of the vaccine. If it is too dirty, you can use dry cleaning powder or shampoo.

Recommended leave-in shampoo. Dry cleaning powder has been inhaled into the nasal cavity by pets due to improper operation, causing discomfort.

5. If you have adverse symptoms such as fever and vomiting, you should be sent to the hospital immediately.

6. If the dog's whole body is swollen, it may be allergic to vaccines, and should be immediately sent to the hospital for injection.

Some Misunderstandings of Vaccination

1. Be vaccinated when you are young. Wrong

Vaccination for dogs is not like ours. Some vaccines we get when we are young have lifelong immunity, while dog vaccines are time-sensitive, so after the first vaccination, they still need to be vaccinated regularly every year.

2. Puppies do not need to be vaccinated, because their mothers have been vaccinated, so they have antibodies. Wrong

Pregnant dogs should not be vaccinated, and puppies should be vaccinated for the first time as early as 6 weeks of age, which can shorten the susceptibility period to infectious diseases.

3. Our dogs do not go out, so they will not be infected with diseases and do not need to be vaccinated. Wrong

Dogs do not go out, the owner goes out, the owner will bring the virus back, especially puppies and dogs that have just arrived home and changed their environment, bathing, cold, stress reaction, etc., may induce parvovirus.

4. The more vaccinations, the better. Wrong

Vaccine is a weak virus, if too much mixed antigen is injected at one time, it is easy to disrupt the immunity of dogs, reduce the effect of the vaccine, and even lead to the failure of the vaccine, so it should be selected according to the individual differences of dogs, the types of diseases transmitted locally and other factors. Under the doctor's advice

Epilogue

※ After the dog is vaccinated, the more reassuring way is to check the antibody every other month or so to ensure that there is a virus antibody in the dog, indicating that the vaccine is successful. You can go to the pet hospital for examination or buy various test strips for self-examination.

Note that the test paper is divided into antibody and anti-source, anti-source is to detect whether there is disease, antibody is to detect whether the vaccine is successful, do not buy the wrong.

In order to ensure the source, authenticity, validity and injection method of the vaccine, regular pet institutions and professional pet doctors should be chosen.

※ The vaccine book should be kept after vaccination, and the vaccine book is required when handling the dog license and dog consignment.

※ Dogs should not be taken out to contact other dogs before the first set of vaccines (that is, 3 times + rabies), so as to reduce the probability of dogs being infected with diseases.

Vaccination is a way for dogs to prevent diseases, just like the principle of hepatitis B, measles and other vaccines when we were young, and dog vaccines are time-sensitive and can not be ignored, which is an effective preventive and protective measure for dog health.
