| PUPPY VACCINATION FACTS |
|
All the products on the market for canine leptospirosis are all killed products.
Those for the rest of these diseases are freeze-dried living virus that have been grown in tissue culture in a way that makes them
non-pathogenic i.e. unable to cause disease. Actually, a single injection, at the right time, of all these live products imparts good, long
lasting immunity to all of these diseases.
The problem is that puppies absorb antibodies against these diseases from their mothers. Depending on the level of immunity in the mother, this
transient parental immunity in the offspring interferes with the puppy’s ability to produce its own long lasting immunity to these diseases. In some
puppies, parental immunity is low enough that by 8-12 weeks the vaccination to work. In others,
parental immunity interferes with the action of the vaccine for up to 18 weeks. The tests that determine
parental immunity levels in puppies are expensive and rarely run. So because we do not know just when
to vaccinate we give a series of three or four injections so that at least one of them will work.
We only give Coronavirus vaccine to puppies because it is a disease of puppies. |

THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS HEARTWORM MEDICATION, THEREFORE WE RECOMMEND
THAT YOU ASK YOUR VETERINARIAN FOR ADVICE ON THIS MATTER. |

mom and the puppies should be checked within
3 days to assess for congenital
abnormalities in the puppies and to assess
the condition of the mom after birth to be
sure milk is adequate and of good quality,
that there are no remaining fetuses in the
uterus, and that the general health of the
mom has not suffered. |
