| One booster down...one more to go... Oliver's vet appt was this morning...at 4 months of age he weighs in at 4lbs 2oz. She said he definitely hit a growth spurt, big strong boy! He got his booster, one more in a month and he'll be scheduled for his neuter surgery. She said she can do the surgery and give shots while he's under. Has anyone done this? Is it better to do them individually? I'll end up calling her in a couple of weeks for more info.

| Administering vaccines within a couple of weeks of surgery is a bad idea. Administering vaccines at the same time a surgery is going on is defiantly not a good idea. The immune system has to process the components in a vaccine so the entire system is in a weakened state. The possibility of adverse reactions is greatly increased with the addition of having to also process the anesthesia components, the stress of the surgury and the recovery process. If it were me I would definatly wait 3-4 weeks after surgery to do any vaccines, if and only if the healing process is complete. Sending good thoughts on surgery day.

| Excellent points. Will do them seperately. How long should I wait. She said give it a week after his last booster before we hit the dog parks. So I wonder if a week is long enough to wait for his surgery.

| I was on my Ipad last night so I couldn't access my files. Here is what the experts say about this....... "It is the response of the vaccinated animal's immune system that determines the effectiveness of the vaccine. If a dog is sick, weak, or malnourished, his body may be unable to mount the proper defense. If his immune system is depressed due to previous disease, surgery, poor genes, old age or drug therapy, vaccinations are likely to be ineffective. Every vaccine package lists warnings against vaccinating any animal whose immune system may be compromised, and most veterinarians will agree that a sick dog should not be vaccinated." How long after vaccination does an animal develop immunity that will prevent severe disease when the core vaccines are used? A. This is dependent on the animal, the vaccine, and the disease. The fastest immunity is provided by canine distemper virus (CDV) vaccines -- MLV and recombinant canarypox virus vectored. The immune response starts within mins - hrs and provides protection within a day without interference from MDA. • immunity to canine parvovirus (CPV-2) develops after 3-5 days when an effective MLV vaccine is used. • Canine adenovirus-2/hepatitis (CAV-2) MLV given parenterally provides immunity against CAV-1 in 5 to 7 days. These articles address the subject of immunity..... AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines: A Closer Look | Truth4Dogs Maddie's Fund - Redefining Vaccination on Intake Soon is Immune

| Our vet will not vaccinate at the time of surgery.
