Sooo many things sure aren't adding up here. Even IF shots are given at different age intervals, I have never, ever heard of a 7 week old Yorkie having 2 sets already. |
I have. Unfortunately it is pretty standard with a lot breeders (mainly breeders with kennels and lots of dogs) these days to give Neopar at 4-5 weeks, and some give shots every 2 weeks after that. Neopar is for Parvo and it is a high titer so it breaks through the mothers immunity given to the pup
My guess he got neopar at 4 weeks and then a combo shot at 6 weeks before he was illegally flown.
My Pennie got her first puppy shot at 7 weeks and she couldn't have another one until she was 14 weeks because she had been so sick. My vet said as long as they have at least 2 vaccines by 14 weeks they will be fine. So we never got the third, Normally I recommend 3 vaccinations by 14 weeks and that is what I give my own as well..
Then I give a booster at a year and no more for 2 years. They say 3 years is fine, but I don't trust that 100% yet so I compromise and do it every 2.
