Default last shots...can i walk him the same day he gets it?

i'm taking my baby to get his rabies shots today. finally! i was wondering if it's ok to take him outside for a walk the same day he gets his shots.

If it is just the rabies and you aren't worried about him getting the disease because it is extremely unlikely on city streets, then sure if he is up to it. Shots don't work that fast though, so he would most likely still be considered unprotected. I would wait 1-2 weeks after giving the last round of DHP to go out of the yard.

I walked Jackson before his Rabies shot. He went to baseball parks for little league games, walks in neighborhoods, etc. He didn't go to a dog park until his Rabies though.

I would surely make sure all parvo shots are done.. and then after the last shot.. you need to wait three weeks.. at least this is what my vet says to do... for I would worry more about parvo on our small dogs then rabies. when small.. for they are with us all the time and parvo is learking anywhere and everywhrere.. you should look at the parvo threads for more information.. it is deadly...


Hope that helps..

I hope nobody takes offense to this... but I really think six months strictly indoors is much too long. I understand being over-protective but they're DOGS. I've never heard of a dog not going outside for six months, no matter how small they are. My vet told me it was fine to take him outside even after he had only had his two sets of shots (he got three sets total + Rabies). I strictly potty-trained him outside from the get-go as I didn't want him to learn peeing/pooping in the house is OK only to have re-train and do it all over again teaching him to go outside. I never took him into a Petsmart or a dog park or anywhere like that until he had all of his shots... but Jackson LOVES it outside. He's 8 months old now and I couldn't imagine keeping him indoors from December-April. I feel you miss a great deal of socialization and learning experiences during that 6 months when they're isolated from the world. That's not fair to them. Even newborn babies only have to stay out of public places for a few weeks. During those 6 months, Jackson experienced and loved snow, grass, water, running around in the backyard chasing balls, exercise, walking properly on a leash, meeting new people & seeing new things. Has he EVER been around another dog? He probably won't know how to act around other dogs. How many other people besides you has he seen? I don't know - I just feel it's unfair to the dog.

I really think it depends on the situation, where a person lives, and how the owner wants to train their dog.

However, in an urban setting, where streets may not be as pristine as other parts of the country, it is understandable for an owner to be a little more cautious with a 2.5 lb yorkie under 6 months old. This is also assuming that there are no other dogs in the household.

I'm all about giving dogs the chance to be just that, dogs. But at the same time I think it's perfectly normal for first time owners to be a little more cognizant of the surroundings of their dogs. In those 6 months, the puppy can still be exposed to other dogs in a controlled environment. Some owners may not want their <6 month old yorkie running around in a dirty dog park covered with feces and woodchips.

Just my opinion. *ARF*

Well, I agree with this! I definitely do not think a puppy without all their shots should be in a DOG PARK, lol. I wouldn't allow that, either. But I don't think keeping them inside 24/7 for six months is fair either. But yes, I totally see your point.

I would consult your vet. My dogs are fully vaccinated, but my vet recommended that they not be walked or socialized with other dogs until they are a year old She said there is way too much Parvo in my area to chance it.

I had my vets okay and took mine out in my backyard from the time I brought them home. I took them on walks after their 3rd set of shots. He said that was okay. I dikdnt take them around any dogs though

WHAT?! lol.

I'm sorry, but in this case, I totally disagree with the vet. I have never in my life heard of keeping a dog inside for a YEAR. That's absolutely insane, sorry, lol.

If Parvo is high in your area, then don't bring him to dog parks or Petsmarts' or places like that.. but a dog is a dog and they need to go outside and experience the world and their own species.

I live on a wooded lot of two acres. My pup us 15 weeks and goes on walks in his pouch with me And my senior yorkie on our lit. I won't out him on the ground until the Dr releases him which us at 28 weeks. We have Parvo in our area and many wild animals and domestic run freely at night in our property. Until he has heartworm medication and flea meds I won't do otherwise.

Well for the moment Tilly is getting through Coccidia, so she won't be going outside untul that is done with at least. She will he going in for her next round of shots soon + a fecal to see if the Coccidia is moving on and i'm going to ask the vet when I can take her on walks then. I do think that for a bit I will carry her mostly though when outside, until i'm comfortable with her being in the grass where I live. There are a lot of dogs in my community and it makes me nervous...what if she gets Coccidia again or Giardia? Eeeeep it freaks me out but I know it is something i'll get over once she is a little older (and better at hitting the potty pad).

As for places like Petsmart or dog parks.....we won't ever go to a dog park...for multiple reasons. And when we go to Petsmart i will probably keep her in the cart. Mostly because I don't trust people and can see her getting stepped on.
