I am speaking from our own experience over these forty years we have raised Beagles. If, by chance, the vet can save the puppy, often the virus has affected its brain as well as everything else. It might depend on the region you live in which viruses are prevalent. Just last year a member from Indiana posted a news article on here about a widespread outbreak of corona in Indiana that was killing scores of puppies. So, based on our own experience, All our Beagles and Yorkies will continue to get the coronavirus injection. Good thing about it, it is in with the five way so it's only one shot. Not discounting you Mary or any of the wonderful info you publish. Most of time, it is great and we all appreciate what you do for us. I am just recounting our own experience as breeders for all these years. It's kind of like when I was in nursing school, many years ago. You can read everything about nursing, go to classes and etc. but you really don't know until you start working and sometimes, it is a lot different from what the books say. As far as Lepto, we don't give it. Neither does our vet. |
As I said in an earlier post...everyone has to go with their own experiences and do what they think what is best for them and the region they live in.. And over vaccination can cause problems as they grow older......
I do know that my mentor basis alot of what she does based on her experiences, but so much has transpired and evolved in her 40+ years of breeding yorkies......I do know that I don't let my pups out until their 2nd vaccinations....and my mother is not allowed out on grass until she has weaned her pups.....and when she's brought back in I tend to be overly cautious....even though my dogs are in a controlled environment, I make sure her feet and undercarriage are completely washed before putting her back with the pups....
