My recommendation on vaccinations is if you are a breeder and give shots yourself then order them from a reputable place. I get mine from Revival Animal Health Products. I give only distemper and parvo starting at 10 weeks. I do not recommend buying vaccinations from feed stores. I can understand vaccinating the larger breeds of dogs at 8 weeks because they are normally weaned earlier and they are bigger. Yorkies are so tiny and vaccinations can be so hard on them. You just cannot see the dangers you may be causing by over vaccinating until it is too late. Too many breeders rush the puppies out the door too early and think they are doing good by vaccinating them first.

I hope Franklin makes a full recovery. He will need to be kept away from all other dogs for one month. Also, I don't know if he was let outside to poo or not but parvo can live in the yard for up to 6 months. I don't know if there is anything you can do about that.
