Lloyd90 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 What jabs does a puppy actually need ? When the breeder took skye for her first jabs the breeder said she was only supposed to have the Parvovirus jab but the vet didn't check and gave her a full set. Although he was only charged for the parvo She has had -Distemper -Hepatitis -Leptospirosis -Parvovirus -Parainfluenza The only 2 she hasn't had are -Bordetella bronchiseptica -Rabies Now when she has her 2nd jab does she just have a booster for the other ? Or just Parvo ? Or just the 2 she didnt get ? I know they need 2 sets but am not sure which exact ones they need BTW sorry for yet another dog post :o im sure your all getting fed up of me lol, and if not you will do eventually lol, alot to learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve0146 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi mate, You did really need the lot. Its ok just jabbing against certain things but imagine your dog then goes somewhere rats have been and picks up Leptospirosis. A book i was reading recently reckons they tested a set of lamp posts in one particular street and found something like 85% had traces of hepatitis on. I dont think its being over cautious. She needs the second lot before being allowed out. She can play with other dogs at home as long as they are all up to date with their jabs. I'm sure some people disagree but thats my opinion anyway!

Lloyd90 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) Thanks Steve, yer I understand that She has been out as she sometimes needs to pee or goes for a little walk just outside the house, but she hasn't been to any of the places that have very high dog levels. Cant wait till she gets her 2nd jabs next week and I can take her everywhere, she loves to explore lol As she was only supposed to have the Paevo for her 1st jabs what jabs does she need for her 2nd ones ? Im going to ring the vet today so it would be good to know what to ask for Will also find out how much to get Skye Chipped Do I just need a parvo booster ? A multi booster ? Is there only 1 kind I can get so they will know or are there vari options ? Sorry to bug you guys lol :o Edited July 9, 2009 by Bigthug87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 you just need the second injection that they give to puppies just turn up at the vets where the initial one was done and they will complete the course without you asking for a specific one. You only need a rabies jab if you want to take the dog abroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J@mes Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 chipping depends on the vet, we've been quoted £60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 ouch...might have to have a word then! Go somewhere else mate I just phoned my local vet, will be the one I use, £32.40 for the 2nd jabs and £18 for micro chipping whilst she's having the jabs, £21 if you just go in for the chip Its not £10 but it sounds alot better than £60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren_mc Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 for the chipping see your local dog warden, ours hold nights when they chip them. and you put a donation in a box for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 BTW how long after the first jab is the 2nd one needed ? I for some reason am believing that its 2 weeks but am not sure where I got that from lol! I cant wait to get her out n about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Just had my new pup jabbed. Cost £30 total for both jabs, 2 weeks apart, plus 2 doses of Frontline free, plus 4 weeks pet insurance free. £10 if you want a micro-chip. This was at one of those "Companion Care" vet franchises inside the pet shop called Pets at Home, I think. It's a nationwide company, so there is no reason to pay more!

Lloyd90 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) If its 2 weeks after the first then she is due in on thursday coming up. Although why not before 10 weeks ? Skye will be 9 weeks 4 days old, is this ok ? Edited July 12, 2009 by Bigthug87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) I'm not sure to be honest mate - just going by what our local vet surgery told us, although Jess will be 9 weeks 3 days on wednesday when she has them done and the vet hasn't said anything about it.

J@mes Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Asked our vet today and said it HAD to be 10 weeks before they could have the second jab so we have booked ours in for a week today. Might be worth ringing your vet and asking fella! :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I have read online lots of people have them done at 7 and 9 weeks rather confusing lol seems everyone does it differently :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
