One thing that most people who have dogs now know is that dogs need to be vaccinated. Vaccinations allow dogs to gain specific resistance and reduce or eliminate the occurrence of infectious diseases, making not only the dog healthier, but more importantly, the owner healthier as well. The vaccine is a weakened virus (except rabies vaccine, which is an extinguished vaccine). After special treatment, the virulence of the virus is weakened and not enough to cause disease in animals, but activates the immune response of the organism, so that the organism produces antibodies to prevent the invasion of the virus, which creates resistance to the virus. Immunization time Puppies should be vaccinated after birth. Newborn puppies can obtain a certain amount of immune antibodies through the placenta and breast milk, which can protect them from certain infectious agents for a certain period of time. 40 days later the amount of antibodies in the body will gradually decrease, and it is time for vaccination. Immunization of puppies: The first immunization will be given three times, and the first immunization will be given at 42 to 2 months of age. After the first vaccination is completed, a booster is given once a year. Immunization of adult dogs: Some dogs do not receive vaccinations as puppies. It is better to get vaccinated to ensure his health. First vaccination is 2 times. The first vaccination is either DPT5 or DPT6. The second vaccination is given at 3-4 weeks intervals, followed by a booster vaccination once a year. Vaccine efficacy When we talk about several doses of vaccine, we are actually referring to the prevention of several diseases, and not that several doses should be given. Duplex vaccine: protects against distemper and canine microvirus. Quadruple vaccine: protects against distemper, canine microvirus, canine parainfluenza, and canine adenovirus. Quintuple vaccine: protects against distemper, canine microvirus, canine parainfluenza, canine adenovirus type I and II (canine infectious hepatitis virus, canine infectious tracheitis), which is actually quadruple. Six-dose vaccine: protects against distemper, canine parvovirus, canine parainfluenza, canine adenovirus types I and II (canine infectious hepatitis, canine tracheitis) and leptospirosis. Eight vaccines: prevention of distemper, canine microvirus, canine parainfluenza, canine adenovirus type I and II (canine infectious hepatitis, canine infectious tracheitis), canine coronavirus, leptospirosis, leptospirosis with jaundice (still less used in China). How to play the vaccine injection method is generally used subcutaneous injection, that is, the skin under the dog’s neck lift a little bit, forming a fold, and then push the syringe into the skin about 2 cm, pull out after the injection sterilization. Some dogs are injected too quickly, or the drug effect is absorbed slowly, the injection place will bulge a small bag, usually after a few days to wait for the drug effect to be completely absorbed, the swelling will disappear. Will the vaccination affect the dog’s health? Theoretically, vaccinations do not have a negative effect on a dog’s body. However, because of the complexity of the dog’s body, no one can guarantee that every dog will not be resistant to vaccines because of their unique constitution. Although the chances are slim, however, there are still a number of dogs that can be allergic to the rabies vaccine. Allergy to the vaccine and injection infection are two ways in which the rabies vaccine can harm a dog. As long as the hospital where the vaccine is administered is a regular and qualified pet vaccine, the possibility of physical harm to the dog will be minimized. Note: 1. Be sure to go to a regular pet hospital to have the vaccine administered by a professional doctor. 2. 5. It is normal for dogs to experience increased body temperature, depression, decreased appetite, pain and other problems after vaccination, and they will be fine in about 2 hours. 6. If dogs have allergic reactions such as itching and facial swelling after vaccination, they need to be desensitized by injection.
