I got Lacy on Nov. 9th.
I took Lacy to the vet on Nov. 10th, and the vet said she was due for her LAST shots that day, even though I expressed doubt that it was correct. (As I have found out, she was wrong.)
On the vaccine record, it has the 2nd shots were supposed to be on Nov. 15th, and the 3rd on Dec. 15th.
The vet assistant said she can have her bordetella and rabies on Nov. 24th, but I am not sure that is correct??? |
So she had her 1st set at 11wks (rather unusual to do 1st shot this late).
On Nov 10th, she was 15wks old and given a 2nd set. So, using Dr. Dodd's schedule, which is least invasive....she is indeed okay on shots. And in fact, I highly commend your vet for NOT following the more commonly used more aggressive approach that is actually unneeded for the dog's immunity.
When she is 20 wks old at least, she can have her rabies. And then you'd do puppy boosters in 1 year.
Hope that helps!

Would work for an adult, but not in this puppy's case.
