help... shots

| I've never done this myself, but I do know several people who do it and have no problems. If you check around, you can usually find a "clinic" that will do the rabies shot relatively cheaply too (like under $10). |
| 2004 VACCINATION PROTOCOLS FOR DOGS The new protocol breaks up the vaccines into three groups: "Core" (must haves), "Non-Core" (optional), and "Not Recommended" (recommended only for dogs at high risk, or not recommended at all). Core (must haves) Canine parvovirus Canine distemper virus Canine Adenovirus Rabies *NOTE: Canine parainfluenza (CPI) will have to be included since there are no vaccines for parvo, distemper, or adenovirus that do not include CPI. Non-Core Leptospira bacterin (non-core due to 3 month immunity, and low efficacy) Bordatella bronchispetica (kennel cough, non-core due to controversy about efficacy of current vaccine) Lyme disease (only for dogs at high risk) (NOTE: Lyme disease vaccine can actually cause permanent symptoms of Lyme—including severe arthritis--without actual infection!) Giardia (only for dogs at very high risk) Not Recommended Corona virus Lyme disease for dogs not at high risk Giardia for dogs not at high risk So I suspect 3 of the 7/1 are the core vaccinations, but what are the others?? Bordatella is good if you are going to a doggie park or kennel. Plus you still need the all important rabies.......but rabies vax can last at least 3 years......but you need the vax to be legal with your county. And don't even think of NOT doing the heartworm! The cure is very $$$. You may be eating beans for awhile but check under the sofa cushions for the extra money. I've used the low cost vaccination clinics when I've been strapped for cash, go for it. |
