The puppy's future health is directly dependent on vaccinations. A person, having a small pet for himself, takes responsibility for his life. At first, a dog needs care, almost like a child. He needs to be fed, bathed, walked on the street. All necessary vaccinations for the puppy must be done annually.
Instructions
Step 1
Protecting your pet from infectious infections should be taken seriously. After all, there are diseases that are dangerous not only for dogs, but also for humans. In this regard, it is necessary to vaccinate dogs according to a ready-made scheme. This procedure is very important and responsible. And it doesn't matter if your pet has a pedigree or is an ordinary yard dog. There is a concept that yard dogs are much easier to tolerate various diseases than purebred dogs. But this does not mean that they do not need to be vaccinated. To avoid dire and irreversible consequences, for a good and loving owner, vaccination of his pet should come first. It is better to strictly follow all the rules and recommendations of the veterinarian in the matter of vaccination once, than to regret it all your life.
Step 2
A puppy, like many other animals, has two immunities - congenital and acquired. Congenital immunity is the one that a puppy receives from the mother at birth and with breast milk. This immunity is enough for the baby only for a couple of weeks at the beginning of life. Already at the age of two months, the puppy needs vaccination against various diseases, which helps to strengthen its innate immunity.
Step 3
A four-legged friend up to a year must be vaccinated three times - at 2-4 months of age, at 6-8 months and a year. After that, a lifetime vaccination is prescribed for the whole life so that the acquired immunity is much stronger. Veterinary medicine has developed a number of vaccines. All of them are divided into monovalent and polyvalent, domestic and foreign.
Step 4
The most dangerous diseases of dogs are rabies, plague, viral hepatitis, leptospirosis, adenovirus and enteritis. Rabies and leptospirosis are transmitted from animals to humans and are fatal diseases. Vaccines have been invented to combat these terrible diseases. Some of them help to develop immunity against one disease, while others help to overcome several viruses at once. The veterinarian will help you choose the necessary vaccination scheme that will help to overcome the most urgent dog diseases in the area.
Step 5
There are some rules to follow when vaccinating dogs. The main thing is that in no case should you vaccinate a sick dog. If the animal is sick at the time of vaccination, then it is strictly forbidden to vaccinate him. By doing this, you additionally introduce a new type of infection, which in most cases will be fatal. In such a situation, you need to cure the animal and after 14 days give it vaccinations.
