When my breeder says "Puppy has his first set of shots" what does this mean? ?
It generally means that they have had their first 'combination' vaccine. As a puppy, they will need 2-3 more combination vaccines after that about 3-4 weeks apart, and a Rabies and Bordetella vaccine with the last combination shot (at 4-6 months-ish). There are different vaccination protocols in different areas of the country, your vet can tell you specifically what they recommend for your location.
Worms in puppy poop after her first set of shots and worm meds?
This is completely normal. Those are roundworms you are seeing. the medication 'anesthetizes' the worms so your dog can pass them. You need to make sure you dispose of the poop right away, otherwise the worms will continue to infest the soil and your dog will get worms again. She will need more dewormer in about two weeks, the dewormer only attacks adult worms, so the worm larvae will stay in her system. That is why she needs a second deworming- by that time those worms will be growing into adults and will be killed by the dewormer.
When do puppies have to get their first shots?
ADVISE STRONGLY- get your puppy vaccinated at 6 weeks if older then now, do not allow contact with any unvaccinated dogs till all vaccinations completed, plus 10 days. No walking- home backyard only, actually I would not let anyone near my new puppy unless they have vaccinated dogs. when puppy gets shots at vet you will be advised of best vaccination protocol in your area
What do I do if my puppy is 8 months old and has no shots?
Go get your puppy the first set of shots right now. Parvo can be carried into the house on your feet. You need to get your puppy the puppy series ( usually one month apart ). The only shot I give my dogs is the rabies booster. The only time a dog responds to shots is when he is a puppy. After that, if you keep reminding the body of something it already knows, the dog can develop autoimmune hemolytic anemia. This killed my dog.If your puppy gets Parvo before you get her in for her first shots, you can Order 4life research animal stress formula, get a 60 mL syringe, and give this to your puppy with water every hour. Even if your puppy throws it up, it will help him survive the crisis. You can get this on Amazon. Unfortunately, you can only order a 5 pound bucket. However, if you know anyone with horses, you can sell what you don’t use to them, because it works wonders with horses that have colic.
What is done at a puppy's first check up and how much does it cost to get her fixed and all her shots?
Well that price will depend on your vet. Each vet charges different office visit prices and different prices for their shots etc. I paid $116 for my dogs puppy wellness visit, they also provided me with a new puppy packet, but depending on the vet it could be considerably higher or considerably less than what I paid. As for the first checkup they check their breathing, their heart, check eyes, ears, take a stool sample and check for worms or parasites, they take blood to make sure there aren't any issues such as hyperthyroidism etc, they check teeth and joints. Then they give them their first set of booster shots which will need to be repeated every 3 weeks up to 15 weeks of age. In addition, depending on your vet will depend on when they want to spay or neuter. The average age that a vet will usually do this is around 5-6 months of age. DO not wait until their first heat there is no medical reason that a female should have one heat before being spayed. A spaying can cost anywhere from $150-$400 some vets have a set price others go by weight of the dog at the time of spaying. Neutering is slightly less. If you want sign up for the Humane Societies Spay and Neuter clinic you can get it done for $60 but there is a wait so get on now that way by the time they have an opening your pup will be of age.
Can you take a puppy to get shots at 7.5 weeks????
That is fine some vets start the first set at 6 weeks
How old does my Chihuahua puppy need to be to get his shots?
You were scammed by some irresponsible backyard greeder. No decent breeder lets a pup of this size go to it's new home before it's a minimum of 10-12 weeks old. Anytime you get a new dog/pup, it needs to be seen by the vet for a health exam. At that time, the vet, depending on the area you live in, will put your pup on a vaccination/worming schedule. You need to return this pup to the BYB and turn them for selling a pup that is too young.
