Dogs are susceptible to life-threatening infectious diseases, such as canine distemper and parvovirus. Prevention of infectious diseases, the main method is to inject vaccine. Vaccination is a matter of care, not blindly, there are many precautions before and after the vaccine.
What Vaccines Should Dogs Get?
Different vaccine brands have different immunization procedures. Most brand immunization procedures are: three injections of basic vaccine and one injection of rabies vaccine in childhood. After that, one shot of basic vaccine and one shot of rabies vaccine will be injected every year. (Rabies vaccination should be administered after 3 months of age.)
Attention should be paid before vaccination.
1 Health vaccination
Before vaccination, make sure that the dog's body is healthy, because vaccination will cause the dog's body to become weak. If the physical condition is not good at the time of vaccination, there will be the possibility of aggravation.
2 These situations cannot be vaccinated.
The vaccine itself is a stimulus. Injecting it under unhealthy conditions is likely to have a counter-effect, aggravate the disease, the vaccine fails, cause a strong immune response, and so on.
3 The last rabies vaccine dose
The rabies vaccine needs to be placed at the end of the immunization program, and can only be injected after the dog is 3 months old. It is better to have an interval of about 7 days from the last injection of the virus vaccine, and not to be injected in advance, so as not to affect the vaccine effect.
4 Vaccines can only be from less to more, not from more to less
For example, if the former needle is combined with 5, the latter needle should be injected with 5 or more combined vaccines. If the injection is combined with 2, several diseases will not be able to achieve successful immunization.
Leptospira (non-essential injection) needs to be injected from more than 6 weeks, with repeated injections at intervals of 2-4 weeks.
Pay attention after vaccination.
1 stay in hospital for observation for 30 minutes
After vaccination, you need to observe in the hospital for 30 minutes before you can leave. If the dog has an allergic reaction (facial edema, shortness of breath, itching, etc.) after vaccination, please ask the doctor for desensitization in time.
2 Home observation 1-2 days
Some dogs will have poor spirits and decreased appetite. Observe for one to two days. If they do not improve, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for examination.
3 cannot take a bath.
Vaccine injection after the general 7-15 days to produce enough protective antibodies, if the bath cold sick may affect the immune effect.
4 Don't go out.
Don't go out before the vaccine is finished to avoid the dog being stimulated and weakening.
5 Do not change food.
Do not switch your dog’s food during the vaccination period, as this could trigger a food allergy, which may compromise the effectiveness of the vaccine.
