Can’t stress this enough,get your puppies parvo shots!

Such a dreadful disease. All the shots in the world does not mean they will take at the exact time when the mothers antibodies wear off. That is why they are given every 3 weeks starting at 8 works to hit that time.

I will say that the puppy series is important, but it doesn't always work. Once they hit a year old, I would suggest a 3 year distemper/parvo. The dose in the one and three year is the same--only difference is the label. Over vaccinating can also cause issues. I would suggest after that three year to do a titer test. It tells you how much antibodies are there and most dogs do not ever have to be vaccinated again. Right now one rabies shot has been proven through a rabies challenge to last at least 7 years, most cases it's the lifetime of the dog. So again titer and if the law says they must have a rabies vaccine, do the 3 year rabies. Again same dosage as the one year(makes no sense but people don't know) and NEVER give any vaccines if the dog is not well. It says right on the rabie vaccine label not to give to sick dogs--healthy dogs only. It stresss out the immune system and could be deadly for a dog that is sick.

Hope your pup gets better soon.

If he is peeing then you are getting quite a bit of fluids in him. Good job!

Ok,he is still alive.He somehow got out my room and walked into our front room.

It might be a good idea to give everyone else a booster.

I'm sorry your pup died

While I believe that vaccines are important, my Maltipoo puppy died at 8 weeks after we went to get her and her siblings dewormed (their mom was a pregnant stray). The vet insisted they get Parvo shots. I found out later that they weren't supposed to get them until about 4 months old. They were all fine except Polly wouldn't eat. Took her back to the vet who put her on an IV and had me feed her by a syringe but she died 5 days later. The vet said she probably had an allergic reaction. When my Jack Russell died years prior another vet said she was allergic to the anesthesia and didn't wake up after her tumor was operated on. Makes me wonder if one or both vets gave them lethal doses.

If you wait until 4 months for the parvo shots, you run a great risk of having a puppy sick with parvo. The younger they are when they contract it, the greater the chance the puppy will not survive. It is rabies that is given at four months, not parvo.

He gets up and makes attempts to drink and even attempt to go outside
