Newborn puppies can obtain certain immune antibodies through the placenta or breast milk, especially colostrum, puppies can obtain antibodies brought by the mother through the intake of colostrum, but the concentration of such antibodies is generally lower as the dog grows gradually, so when puppies reach a certain age, they need to be vaccinated accordingly, and the vaccines needed for different puppies at different times are also different. Immunization process The initial systemic immunization of puppies requires four processes: 1. First dose: Duplex DP (around 42 days) 2. Spirochete vaccine LEPTO Rabies vaccine RABIES (with a three-week interval between the third dose) However, currently, a three-step vaccine format is commonly used in China, i.e. canine diphtheria, canine quadruple vaccine, and canine quadruple vaccine (or six doses) Rabies vaccine. The diphtheria vaccine is the first shot, which mainly prevents puppies from distemper virus and canine microvirus, which is the reason why dogs in the hands of black dog dealers are infected with these two diseases in large numbers, because black dog dealers generally do not vaccinate puppies. The quadruple vaccine (also known as the imported quintuple vaccine) is the second vaccine, which mainly prevents canine distemper, canine microvirus, canine infectious hepatitis, canine parainfluenza and canine adenovirus type 2, and is the initial and most effective protection for puppies against the disease. The six doses of the vaccine often referred to at veterinary stations are usually given as the third shot, which is a booster vaccine, or in fact the canine quadruple vaccine plus the canine leptospirosis vaccine. However, it is important to note that the third injection is not mandatory for the DPT6 vaccine, but can also be given as a booster for the DPT6 vaccine, depending on whether the dog is in an area with a high prevalence of leptospirosis, and if it is not a susceptible area, the DPT6 alone is also sufficient to provide a booster, as leptospirosis is not common in some areas. Rabies injections are usually done in conjunction with the Canine Six vaccine, but usually, we recommend that dogs purchased from proper sources have their rabies vaccine put off until about six months. After the first three immunizations for puppies, re-immunizations are given until the eleventh month after the dog’s last IV or VI vaccination is completed, and annual immunizations are given every eleven months thereafter for IV (or VI) rabies. For those parents whose dogs have been home for more than three months, there is generally no need to vaccinate them as long as the dogs are purchased from regular and secure sources. For those who are unsure and do not have proof of vaccination, you can also immunize your dog a week after arrival, and directly inject the second and third shots in sequence, with the same interval as above. Note 1. Some dogs will have special conditions after vaccination, some will be overexcited, worry about one thing is obvious, just after the vaccination of the dog can not bathe, can not go out, and need to keep warm, because the vaccine itself is dangerous, for weakening the virus, care is not careful, or may cause disease. 2. For dogs with poor health and malnutrition, it is best to improve their health and strengthen their nutrition until they are healthy before vaccination. 3. Dogs cannot be vaccinated when they are ill. Vaccination at this time may aggravate the disease due to the vaccine reaction, and may also make the vaccine unable to produce a good immune effect. 4. When the vaccination is completed a week later, parents who have the conditions can take their dogs to the hospital again for a review to ensure that the vaccine produces antibodies. 5. The temperature in spring and autumn is suitable to help the vaccine work, so it is best to choose spring and autumn for the injection.
