When you work in the dentist will you be able to come home at lunch? She should be ok ... | My thoughts exactly. Blossom is very young to have left her mother. Any immunity she may still have had from nursing is often destroyed by the first vaccinations. She may be completely unprotected from deadly puppy diseases. It's not safe to let her in places that other dogs have been like grooming salons, dog parks, pet stores, and common areas where other dogs are walked. She will have to finish her full round of shots plus two weeks for full immunity, usually around 4&1/2 months.
Another consideration is that at only nine weeks, Blossom is right in the middle of the Fear Imprint Stage which is between 8-11 weeks old. You don't want to frighten her in any way as any traumatic, frightening or painful experience
will have a more lasting effect on her than
if it occurred at any other time in her life. http://www.thepetteacher.com/Puppydevelopmen.html |
