Diane, I follow Dr Jean Dodd's protocol. Pam Note: The following vaccine protocol is offered for those dogs where minimal vaccinations are advisable or desirable.? The schedule is one I recommend and should not interpreted to mean that other protocols recommended by a veterinarian would be less satisfactory.? It's a matter of professional judgment and choice. ? Age of Pups Vaccine Type ? 9 - 10 weeks ? 14 weeks ? 16 -18 weeks (optional) ? 20 weeks or older, if allowable by law ? 1 year ? 1 year ? ? ? Distemper + Parvovirus, MLV (e.g. Intervet???????? ???????????????????????????????????? Progard Puppy DPV) Same as above ? Same as above (optional) ? Rabies ? Distemper + Parvovirus, MLV ? Rabies, killed 3-year product (give 3-4 weeks apart from distemper/parvovirus booster) ? ? Perform vaccine antibody titers for distemper and parvovirus every three years thereafter, or more often, if desired. Vaccinate for rabies virus according to the law, except where circumstances indicate that a written waiver needs to be obtained from the primary care veterinarian.? In that case, a rabies antibody titer can also be performed to accompany the waiver request.

I know that the puppy had all of its shots.? My GSD mentor also lost a four month old puppy to parvo years ago.? I think that the mother's antibodies are interfering with the shots.? I'm also thinking that puppies should get there shots later because of this interference.? What do you guys think?? What shot protocol do you use?? Do you give lepto, corona, and if so when?? Thanks. ? Diane BISS Ch.
