Hello, so today my Athena is 8 weeks old and next Tuesday she has her first vaccination appointment. I was told on another thread I should wait until she is 10 weeks old to start her Vaccinations, but I was told by the vet to bring her in now. thats why the appointment is next week. Also, Parvo is a concern here. We have a lot of problems with that here where I live. I keep her inside, but I do have other pets ( fully vaccinated ) that go outside and of course it could be brought in on shoes, or almost anything no matter how careful I am. Also my husband works with live pigs for smithfield where they slaughter for processing. not pleasant I know, but its a job. So I get concerned as to what he could bring home on his clothes etc.

In any case. I told that I came to the breeder section that perhaps some of you could tell me when you vaccinate your pups and what you recommend I do? It

I appreciate any advice given.

Thanks.
