i also had never heard that vaccinating a pup at 6 weeks is a no no...until yt...IMO thats taking a BIG BIG BIG risk..i dont think there is any one that would change my mind on that..i feel like waiting that 6 weeks to vaccinate them is scary..people walk all over the place and can carry diseases on their shoes..so i am relieved when i start vaccinating them at 6 weeks i feel they are safe and protected... |
You are doing more damage than good giving vaccinations prior to 8 1/2 to 9 weeks. You are supressing mother's immuities.
Yes, people walk all over the place, however precautions should be taken when there are litters in the house, removing your shoes before entering your house. Making sure that you change your clothes prior to handling the pups. And always making sure that you disinfect your hands before handling the pups. Making sure that whereever the pups are confined to, that it is always sanitized with a disinfected.
