If I remember correctly, you start vaccinating your pups at 6 wks and you give lepto, and you vaccinate anuually - and I don't know of any protocol that supports this - I really wish you'd consider what is recommended currently bc I think you're doing your pups' health a great disservice  . Lepto is non-core and is especially dangerous to yorkies in particular. The AAHA has listed that vaccine as non-core since 2003 (at least!?), so for 7 years now. The AAHA's vaccine protocol even states, "...anecdotal reports of acute anaphylaxis in toy breeds" -and- "...most severe reactions in young puppies..." -and- "efficacy can be low".
Vaccinations affect the immunity and health of a pup for their lifetime. Overvaccinating can be very detrimental - just look at the research. This is why it's important to give our dogs only what they really need for the best health. |
Why do some breeders not do research on these important issues......Just because a pup is up and walking around after a vaccine is in so way shape or form an indication the vaccine did no damage. You can't see what is taking place on a cellular level
inside the pup....This practice is starting the pup off on a bad start for the new pet owner....What a shame......
This is in regards to starting a pup off by not doing vaccines in a safe and correct way.... too soon and too many....
