In my opinion I think your vet needs to study up on the newest recommendations on vaccinations. It is not recommended to get vaccinations that young.
Well they may of read up on it since our last litter of puppies was June 21, 07.
Our City does require the Rabies so I have to get it even tho I may not want to, I just don't want my babies taken away from me due to me not doing what our City says to do. I'll find out if they've done any updating on shots when I take ours in for their yearly.
We are out in the country and there are very seldom any stray dogs around. I just don't hear about parvo in the area where we live.
Last Summer when we had our litter of puppies,1 of my oldest daughters' friends stopped by last year even with our Parvo sign up and walked into our garage and back to her truck, just before she left she told me that her Mother-In-Laws' baby poodles had Parvo and they was at the Vets that day and not expecting them to make it, scared me to death even tho ours had their 2 set of shots & never went into our garage. I sprayed bleach every where she stepped all the way down our drive way and out to the road, needless to say my older girls thought I was batty but I don't care.
Our back yard has a privacy fence but out front yard has none yet and yes there are stray dogs here, if I catch any here in my yard I run them off and I've even have people walking their dogs and allow them to poo & pee in my yard, I go out and tell them I have Yorkies and I don't allow them to potty in other peoples' yard, don't let U're dogs potty in mine.
2 Summers ago I had a couple just stop every single day and let their big male dog (Don't know what kind it is) pee on my Rose Of Sharon bush at the corner of our yard (Teddy wanted to mark it every time he went outside so I was also fighting with him not to) needless to say we went around. They finally gave up and stopped. It really bothers me when others disrespect others by doing this, we take our Yorkies on walks but we have doggie bags and most of the time they do it on the sidewalk (& we pick it up) as I will not allow them in other peoples yards. We're hoping to get our front yard fenced in this year.
I have always been told that sick dogs get parvo and healthy dogs have a resistance to it.
Really I hope it is true about the Healthy dogs has a resistance to it maybe that why we've never had it here at our house.
I try not to over vaccinate because that causes the dogs immune system to be compromised.
Can I ask how it comprosmises their immune system? I never knew this so I would like to learn more about it. I read how old U're babies are when U start U're shots, can I ask how old they are when U adopted them out to their forever homes or let them leave to go to their forever homes? And do they have all their shots before they leave? Do U ship U're babies?
We've never had any with heart worm either.
I do use Advantage for fleas when necessary.
We use to use Frontline Plus, but Hubby got something last summer to put on our yard and it killed our fleas and we never had any after he put it on our yard, (We don't allow our Yorkies in the yard for like 3 days after he applies it and he does it right before it rains so it will soak in) so now we just use this and I don't have to treat our Yorkies for fleas and we had them bad outside as we have sandy soil.
I will google and read up on it all. Thanks so much for U're answers to my questions. And all U're helpful info
