German Shepherd?
My wife brought home a german shepherd puppy this morning. It's about 10-11 weeks old. You can see it has been mistreated but we will take care of it. The only thing that worries me is whether it's too old for her first shot. I'm planning to take her to the vet tomorrow to clear her from parasites and give her shots but I have read that pups shpould receive their shots until they are 9 weeks old not later. Is it safe to get them now and can I expect to have a helathy puppy - it's very important because I already have 2 dogs of my own and I don't want to risk. Tnx
I would have this pup vaccinated now and then again in 2 weeks. Your vet might want to put a 3rd vaccine in it 3 weeks after that one when the pup then gets its rabies vaccine. With my pups, I vaccinate with Da2p+PV I use Vanguard plus 5. I vaccinate at 6 and 8 weeks, then 11 weeks 14 weeks and then rabies. Have the pup wormed, if you see her pass them , have her wormed again in one week.
Dogs are never too old for their first vaccine. Go ahead and get her vaccines. She will probably need at least 2 boosters afterward as well.
Well since you are taking her to the vet. Ask him/her. But will be okay to give her her shots.
A dog is never to old to get its first shots. They just start at the beginning and get the series like a puppy who was vaccinated at 8 weeks. I would recommend keeping the new pup isolated from your other dogs until you are sure she’s not carrying anything especially since she is of unknown origin and was obvioulsly not well cared for before she came to you. Your vet should be able to tell you how long to isolate her to be sure.
that good kind because dog can procet yuor house
It is safe as far as I know
