Teeth coming in??? They are all there!!!! I'm not sure how she lets them eat at all!!! Was worried about antibodies.
I've called several vets and they all tell me "we just give the puppy dose" for shots. I'll keep calling.....
Thanks and more input is very welcome! |
A pup obtains it's mothers antibioties within the first 24 hours from the colostrum. It will remain there until approximately 8 weeks of age.....that is why innoculations are given between 8 and 9 weeks. At that point I give the full 1 cc dosage. That is as long as the pup is doing well....if not I hold off longer.
How small is this little girl? A reputable breeder will never sell a wee one but, will place it in a qualified home, a family that knows the ins and outs of taking care of a wee one. One that is tiny will never be placed in a home prior to it's reaching 2 pounds of age. I've kept a wee pup till well of 18 weeks to ensure that it is eating well. No reputable breeder will sell heartache, that's why we place them.
