Misunderstandings about immunity

1 House dogs do not need to be vaccinated

With the increase in the number of dogs, the exchanges between relatives and friends, and the owners' outings, the virus may be introduced to the dogs at home. Even if they do not go out, they must be vaccinated.

2 It’s safe if you get vaccinated

When unvaccinated puppies arrive in a new environment, they must gradually adapt to their diet and rest. If the puppy comes from a market where the environment is dirty, the plague is rampant, and it suffers from hunger and cold, its physical condition will definitely be very poor, and it will often be infected with terrible diseases, but it will not attack. At this time, vaccination will be counterproductive. The patient should be nursed back to health and observed for about 10 days, and then immunized after the hospital tests confirm that the patient is healthy.

3 Dog mothers get vaccinated = dog babies are safe

The attenuated vaccine reacts strongly after injection and may damage the fetus. The instructions for this type of vaccine clearly state "Contraindicated for pregnant dogs." If the dog's immunity time happens to be at this time, it should wait until after breastfeeding.

4 Vaccine early and ensure early success

Vaccines given at too young an age may be interfered with by maternal antibodies, affecting the immune effect. The first batch of vaccines should be injected after 45 days, and the first batch of rabies vaccines should be injected after 3 months.

5 Vaccination = 100% protection

There are hundreds of diseases that can occur in dogs, and vaccines can only prevent six or seven of them. Even if vaccinated, the dog's health should be carefully monitored.

6 Vaccination is most important in the first year

We must pay attention to the vaccine every year, and the vaccine should be injected about half a month earlier than the previous year to prevent accidents when the vaccine is about to expire
