VACCINATIONS FOR DOGS
The causative agents intensify in dogs which live in cities, while their immunity against diseases becomes weaker because of various urban harms. With a well aligned vaccination program it's possible to form power of resistance against causative agents for urban dogs with a depleted immune system. In regard to the law, the vaccination against rabies – which can be also fatal for people – is a must. Dogs get their first vaccination against rabies at the age of 3-4 months, the second until their first year.
After that, they need to be vaccinated once a year. There are also more types of vaccination which aren't mandatory but medically advisable. The dog puppies are passively protected against various causative agents by their mother until they are 6 weeks old. At this time it's necessary to start immunising the puppies with a well aligned vaccination program.
In the vaccination there are inactive or depleted causative agents which can be defeated without getting ill, and in 10-12 days a weak protection evolves in the organism against the causative agent. Trustworthy protection against the strong causative agent can be attained by having the vaccinations repeated.
Even a weakened causative agent can try a puppy (they can be woozy for a day), and because of this, the vaccination can be given only to healthy animals. Invermination, fleas, undernourishment are frequent debilitant factors, so regular antiverminattion, bolhaűzés and proper nutrition are essential for the right efficacy of the vaccination.
The advisable vaccination program of the clinic for urban dogs are the following:
- 7th week: Vaccination against parvoviral diaorrhea
- 9th week: Combined vaccination (Parvoviral diaorrhea, distemper, infectious hepatitis, leptospirosis, kennel cough, coronaviral diaorrhea)
- 11th week: Combined repeater
- 13th week: Vaccination against rabies
- 6th month: Combined repeater
- 1th year: Combined and rabies repeater
Other vaccination possibilities:
It's possible to guard against Lyme disease and Babesiosis in sheep-tick-dangerous places! It's possible to guard against Kennel cough (mostly recommended for younger dogs, and for those who often meet other dogs,e.g: dog-school, dog-pension, etc.) Microsporiasis vaccination for fungus is to prevent dermatomycosis, or often for curing it.
