The only thing it will accomplish is to stress her immune system. An injury or surgery also stresses the immune system. It takes 4 weeks for a vaccine to complete it's work, so optimally surgery would be scheduled around vaccination or vice versa, in order to allow the immune system more strength to deal with the surgery, or to have full function to produce antibodies from the vaccine.
The dog can produce a stronger antibody load if it does one vaccine at a time with no other stressors involved. |
Thanks, I'll wait until the summer.
