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.  |
Giving shots that young is a really scary thought
I just don't understand how people in this world can be out for the $ and not for what is best for the pup/new owners... I guess I should consider myself lucky that I know my breeder is completely in love with those pups and would never do anything to harm them. She's nervous about giving shots at 10 weeks, let alone 4... and these pups are almost all on the larger side, my girl is already 3 pounds.
