There is the painlessly applied nasal vaccine which builds protection at the site of potential infection, starting within 48 hours. The "nose drop" vaccine is the one that we recommend for your dog. (Even though it is "painless" some dogs are resentful and will struggle.)
And, there is the injection by needle that works through the dog's lymph immune system. the needle injection vaccine requires two injections 3 to 4 weeks apart in order to build long-term protection against CC. Since some people don't go back for the booster 3-4 weeks after the initial vaccine, we do NOT recommend the injectable vaccine. Check with your veterinarian for his/her recommendations. |
Thanks for the info Daniellealberta. I understand that puppies have to go back to the vet a few weeks after their first booster, but Jerome is not a puppy.Since he had the bordetella booster and annual examination in April he only needed rabies and parvo shots. The vet didn't read his file or assumed that he was going for the bordetella shot and the rabies but he was going for parvo and rabies. The vet called me yesterday to apologized and also told me that Jerome's inmune system is going to get stronger after that booster, but that he didn't do it on purpose. That makes me feel better.
I read and read on the internet all kids of info in bordetella. It just freaked me out the fact that he had too boosters in a short period of time since he is not a puppy anymore, plus when it comes to our babies I'm sure all of us get really worried thinking that you don't want anything bad to happen to them.
