Because this was only the second set, being unprotected for life is a concern. I'd titer in a few weeks, but if your pup really can't be vaccinated again and the titer isn't high, he will be at risk of contracting some serious things. Not sure why they are saying no rabies when that's not what caused the reaction. It sounds like he came out of it okay. Has he had a problem with any other drugs? |
I agree. Your puppy's vaccinations were started too early, while he still had maternal antibodies from nursing. They block the effectiveness of early vaccines. At 12 weeks, he only has about a 60% chance of being fully immunized. Ideally, the last round of vaccinations are done around 16-18 weeks, then boosted at a year.
Giving vaccinations separately (like parvo only) can greatly reduce the risk of a reaction.
Make sure you get a bile acids test done on him when he reaches 16 weeks. Problems with vaccinations can be a symptom of a liver shunt.
