What is a vaccine?
Vaccines refer to biological products made from various pathogenic microorganisms for vaccination,
pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacteria, viruses, etc.) and their metabolites , automatic immune preparations for the prevention of infectious diseases made by artificial attenuating, inactivating or using transgenic methods.
The vaccine retains the characteristics of pathogenic bacteria to stimulate the immune system of the animal body. When the animal body comes into contact with this innocuous pathogenic bacteria, the immune system will produce certain protective substances,
Such as immune hormones, active physiological substances, special antibodies, etc.;
When animals are exposed to this pathogen again, the animal’s immune system will follow its original memory and produce more protective substances to Prevent damage from pathogenic bacteria.
Vaccination is the most economical and effective public health intervention to prevent and control infectious diseases. It is also an effective means to reduce the occurrence of dog diseases and medical expenses for families and society.
“two-joint, four-joint, six-joint” etc. refer to a variety of joints, how many kinds of diseases can be prevented, not the meaning of several fights.
Double vaccine: canine distemper and canine parvo; quadruple vaccine: canine distemper, canine parvo, canine parainfluenza and canine adenovirus;
six vaccine: canine distemper Fever, canine parvo, canine parainfluenza, canine adenovirus type I, II and leptospirosis;
rabies vaccine: for healthy dogs, cats and other animals to prevent rabies.
Vaccination time
Duplex The vaccine is generally injected in puppies at 4 to 6 weeks; the quadruple vaccine is injected into puppies after 8 weeks for three consecutive injections, and the interval between each injection is not less than 3 weeks; After 6 weeks, the dog was injected with three consecutive injections, with an interval of 3 to 4 weeks between each injection (3 consecutive injections for dogs under 3 months, 2 injections for more than 3 months).
The above vaccine cycle is for reference only, the specific time still needs to be determined according to the puppy’s physical condition and doctor’s advice.
Vaccination Precautions
Vaccinations given to puppies before 45 days may be taken from breast milk The maternal antibody kills, resulting in immune failure.
Although the vaccine itself is a weakened virus, their activity is much lower than that of normal viruses, and the resistance of healthy puppies can defeat the virus.
But vaccination must be done in a healthy state Get vaccinated.
What should I pay attention to?
Injection vaccines must be selected in a healthy state, such as in a state of unsound immune system, non-dewormed state, cold and fever, latent or concurrent infection, etc. Do not inject to prevent any possibility of threatening the life safety of the puppies;
The vaccine should be of the same brand to avoid failure;
Domestic and imported vaccines have their own advantages and disadvantages. Parents should choose according to their actual situation;
Try not to take a bath during the immunization period;
In general, the last injection needs to be filled. Rabies vaccine (except for rabies vaccine containing more than seven doses), China belongs to the rabies epidemic area, and the immunization injection should be strengthened once a year in the future.
Under normal circumstances, most dogs will not respond after vaccination,
A few may have problems such as increased body temperature, decreased appetite, pain, etc., usually 1-3 days The left and right sides will return to normal;
If there is any abnormality such as itching all over the body, that is, allergies, you must seek medical treatment immediately.
It is recommended that domestic pet dogs be taken out 10 days after all vaccinations, and try not to come into contact with other stray dogs.
