Dr. Dodds says you can give a single Parvo shot to puppies as young as 6 weeks old but Yorkiemom1 is a very respectable breeder w/many years of experience, please listen to her.
Please treat this puppy like a new born baby. Keep him warm, confined in a crate when alone (but he shouldn't be left alone), feed every 4-6 hrs (he should be eating soft warm puppy gruel, puppy food mixed w/goat's milk), don't let any other pets around him & always have water out for him, the hamster/ bunny bottles work great. |
When my breeding program had to deal with parvo years ago, I contacted the vet that developed the NeoPar for his specific advise on how to deal with this issue....Dr. Bob Page.......straight from the horses mouth, he told me to administer NeoPar at 3-4 weeks of age, then start my vaccinations at 8 weeks of age. He did tell me if I waited to start vaccinations until puppies were 10 weeks or older, he said to give another dose of the NeoPar following the initial dose at 3 weeks, at 6 weeks, then start vaccinations at 10-12 weeks. I told him my vaccination program, and he suggested NeoPar at 3-4 weeks, then 3-4 weeks later, start with my vaccinations....this works very well for me and my babies and have had no issues with parvo since.
