The shots were started too early on this puppy. You dont start vaccinations on puppies until at least 8 weeks of age....before that time, mothers natural immunity is still in the puppy and you have to hit the ideal tiome when mommas natural immunity to the puppy has waned enough to protect the puppy....that is not until 8 weeks of age. Those vaccinations that puppy got were given way too early to be beneficial to the puppy. First vaccines should start at 8 weeks then one vaccine given every 3-4 weeks from that initial dose, NOT in order to get a total amount of 3-4 vaccinations into the puppy, but they are given at those intervals as you try to hit the minute that puppy's maternal immunity drops down low enough for vaccines to be effective on the baby. Dog parks, PetSmart, walking trails, etc., any where all kinds of dogs with unknown vaccination protection are allowed to walk around, is NO place for a tiny puppy, and you indeed have cause for concern. Please, keep this baby isolated in your home, away from any other dogs, until this baby is properly and effectively vaccinated, or you will indeed loose your baby to parvo probably, since that is the most prevalent and most easily caught of the canine diseases.....Hopefully, you have a vet that is giving this baby vaccinations at the correct age in order to protect the baby. Vaccinations given when the maternal protections are still in the baby's system, are just thrown off and offer no immunity or protection.
