Friends who have just bought a dog know that they need to be vaccinated under the guidance of the pet store owner or doctor, but there are still many details that need to be paid attention to when it comes to vaccination, as well as many misunderstandings. Let??s learn about the basic common sense of dog vaccination with Xiaobian!
Vaccine is actually a weakened virus with reduced vitality. The viruses used for vaccines have been specially cultivated and treated with special techniques. Their activity is much lower than that of normal viruses, which can help dogs develop resistance. After being injected with the vaccine, even if they are infected with normal viruses later, their resistance is sufficient to deal with them. Feel free.
Notes:
In general, vaccinations are not dangerous to dogs, but they can be life-threatening when they are sick.
1. For dogs with poor constitution and malnutrition, it is best to improve their constitution and strengthen their nutrition first, and then get vaccinated until they are healthy.
2. Do not get vaccinated when you have the disease, otherwise it may aggravate the disease.
3. Those who have been in contact with sick dogs before injection, need a comprehensive examination before injection.
4. Injections to pregnant bitches may cause miscarriage and are absolutely prohibited.
5. Bitches are not suitable for vaccination within half a month after giving birth.
6. Dogs whose wounds have not healed are not suitable for vaccination.
Myths about vaccinating dogs
Myths—:Dogs rarely go out or don’t go out and don’t get infected , do not need to be vaccinated. With the increase in the number of dogs, the exchanges between relatives and friends, and the owner’s going out, they may bring the virus to the dogs at home. Even if they do not go out, they must be vaccinated.
Myth 2:—It’s safe to get vaccinated, and get immunized immediately after buying a puppy. When unimmunized puppies arrive in a new environment, they must gradually adapt to their diet and rest. If the puppy comes from a market where the environment is dirty, plague-ridden, starving and freezing, the physical fitness must be very poor, and it is often infected with a terrible disease, but it does not attack. At this time, vaccination will be counterproductive. Should be nursed back and observed for about 10 days, and the immunization should be carried out after the hospital test confirms the health.
Myth 3: Pregnant mother dogs can be vaccinated, which can bring antibodies to their children. After the attenuated vaccine is injected, the reaction is strong and may damage the fetus. The instructions for this type of vaccine clearly state that “pregnant dogs are prohibited” and should wait until after breastfeeding.
Will there be any adverse reactions to the dog’s vaccination?
1. After the injection, the dog has an increase in body temperature, depression, decreased appetite, and pain The problem is normal, usually it will recover after two hours.
2. If you have itching all over the body and facial swelling, that is, allergies, you should go to the hospital for desensitization immediately.
3. Some dogs also get sick within a few days to ten days after vaccination. Reasons:
(1) The vaccinated dogs are already sick and are in the incubation period .
(2) The person becomes sick after being infected with the virus before the vaccine takes effect (it takes about ten days).
4. It is strictly forbidden to bathe the dog within 10 days after vaccination to prevent the body’s resistance from being reduced.
