Dog vaccination myths pet parents must read

Myth: Dogs rarely go out or do not go out, they are not contagious and do not need to be vaccinated. Answer:As the number of pets increases, the density increases rapidly, and the interaction between friends and relatives and the owner’s going out may bring the virus to the dog at home. Myth: Other people’s dogs have gotten sick after vaccination, so vaccination is not necessary. Answer:There are many contraindications to vaccination. If the owner ignores some cases that the dog is not suitable for immunization at that time and rashly immunizes, or if the dog is given poor quality, expired or improperly preserved vaccines, or worse, encounters a hospital with low medical ethics and technology, it will definitely cause bad results. But it does not mean that all dogs will get sick after vaccination, and it does not mean that vaccines should not be given. Myth: It’s safe to get vaccinated and get immunized after buying a puppy. Answer: When an unimmunized puppy arrives in a new environment, it must gradually adapt to its diet and rest. If the puppy comes from a dirty environment, plague-ridden, starving and freezing market, it is bound to have poor health and is often infected with terrible diseases, which is counterproductive to vaccinate at this time. The serum should be injected at the hospital, conditioned and observed for about 10 days, and then immunized when there are no more problems. Myth: Pregnant dog mothers can be vaccinated so that they can bring antibodies to their children. Answer:Weak vaccines have strong reactions after injection and may damage the fetus. The instructions for these vaccines clearly state that they are “contraindicated in pregnant dogs”. If the mother’s immunization is scheduled at this time, she should wait until after she has nursed. Myth: Vaccines are so important that it is better to get them early. Answer: Vaccination at too young an age may be interfered with by maternal antibodies and affect the effectiveness of immunization. The first dose of diphtheria vaccine should be injected after the puppy reaches 30 days, and the first dose of rabies vaccine should be injected after the puppy reaches three months. Myth: Infectious diseases are horrible, so if you see that something is wrong with your puppy, you should get vaccinated. If the puppy has been infected with viruses, or poor health, nutrition, vaccination will harm it, should be first symptomatic treatment, conditioning, adapt to the environment, in a very healthy situation before immunization. Myth: If you vaccinate, your dog’s health is 100% guaranteed. Answer:There are hundreds of diseases that can occur in dogs, and vaccines can only prevent six or seven of them. Even with vaccinations, you should pay careful attention to your dog’s health. When a dog is too young or too old, weak, there is an outbreak of a local infectious disease, or the previous year’s vaccines are about to expire, appropriate preventive or rescue measures should be taken immediately. Myth: The first year’s vaccine is the most important, and the subsequent year’s vaccine does not matter. Answer: It is important to pay attention to each year’s vaccine, and each year’s vaccine should be given about half a month earlier than the previous year’s vaccine to prevent accidents when the vaccine is about to expire. There have been many tragedies around us where dogs have been fatally infected because their owners did not pay attention to timely immunizations as adults.
