Distemper-Hepatitis (CAV-2)
Canine Parvovirus
Parainfluenza
Leptospirosis 
and Coronavirus
Like I said yesterday she's only 8 weeks old and 2 1/2 lbs I thought she would be too young to get all of that. maybe im wrong,  does distemper have all of them in it, or do they always mix everything together. She only got one shot thats why im so confused!
also If she did get all of them, how long do I have to wait before I can take her out? I was told by the breeder not to let her go into any stores/park etc... until she got her first set of shots.
I was up all night too worried about her, but she seems to be fine just a little tired. It was harder on me then it was on her lol she didnt make a sound or even move when they gave her the shot.
Im so mad that he could just disregarded my wishes as far as the Lepto and Corona went!!!! |
If you told him not to give those and he did anyway, he broke the law. You could probably take him to court and/or report him to the state veterinary board. If I had to give lepto, I would NOT give it before 16 weeks because it can suppress the immune system.
She needs to be considered totally unprotected against the diseases she just got vaccinated for because the maternal antibodies she did have, the vaccines interfered with them and she may not have very little protection until she gets 2 more sets of vaccines.
Distemper, parvo and I think hepatitis and lepto can be given separately but most vets do combo shots (all in one). The one I'd get is DHPP (sometimes called DAPP). That is distemper, parvo, parainfluenza and hepatitis or adenovirus. The one your vet gave was probably DHLPP-C.
I would not go back.
