DA2PP at 8-10 weeks of age (no lepto - see why below) and then at 3 week intervals until 3 shot series is completed. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO ADMINISTER EXTRA PARVO SHOTS!!!!!! NOTE: Eliminate leptospirosis bacterin if previous reaction Re-vaccinate at 1 year, then every 3 years
Rabies - vaccinate 4-6 weeks AFTER series of puppy shots are COMPLETED
##################################### Give 10-14 days prior to show/event and then yearly while dog is "at risk".

PUPPY DEWORMING SCHEDULE
Nemex dewormer (preferred)
or
Strongid-T dewormer liquid
|
PUPPY HEARTWORM Once the puppy has reached 50 lb of body weight, you can use liquid ivermectin at a rate of 0.1ml per 10 lb of body weight (that's 1ml per 100 lb adult). This very cost effective product will prevent heartworms and kill most other intestinal worms, except for tapeworms. You can order it online HERE for about $45.00 per 100ml. That's about 80-100 doses depending on the size of your Anatolians, making the cost VERY reasonable. For Fleas, you can use any of several products on the market (ask your vet). Your dog should never have to suffer from fleas if you use these products. You can find links to discount flea meds on my home page. If you prefer a completely non-toxic product (especially for Anatolians), Diatomaceous Earth is a good alternative .. you can find the link for it below.
For outside around your house, you can use diatomaceous earth to kill off any insect with an exoskeleton. I love this stuff and use it in my puppy pen when I have a litter of pups. This is COMPLETELY NONTOXIC to your animals. I get mine HERE |
Multiple components in vaccines compete with each other for the immune system and result in lesser immunity for each individual disease as well as increasing the risk of a reaction.
Canine Corona Virus is only a disease of puppies. It is rare and self limiting (dogs get well in 3 days without treatment). Corona virus does not cause disease in adult dogs.
Leptospirosis vaccine is a common cause of adverse reactions in dogs. Most of the clinical cases of lepto reported in dogs in the US are caused by serovaars (or types) grippotyphosa and bratsilvia. The vaccines contain different serovaars eanicola and ictohemorrhagica. Cross protection is not provided and protection is short lived. Lepto vaccine is immuno-supressive to puppies less than 16 weeks.
Dogs and cats immune systems mature fully at 6 months. If a modified live virus vaccine is given after 6 months of age, it produces an immunity which is good for the life of the pet (ie: canine distemper, parvo, feline distemper). If another MLV vaccine is given a year later, the antibodies from the first vaccine neutralize the antigens of the second vaccine and there is little or no effect. The titer is not "boosted" nor are more memory cells induced.
Not only are annual boosters for parvo and distemper unnecessary, they subject the pet to potential risks of allergic reactions and immune-mediated hemolytic anemia.
There is no scientific documentation to back up label claims for annual administration of MLV vaccines.
Puppies receive antibodies through their mothers milk. This natural protection can last 8-14 weeks. Puppies & kittens should NOT be vaccinated at LESS than 8 weeks. Maternal immunity will neutralize the vaccine and little protection (0-38%) will be produced. Vaccination at 6 weeks will, however, delay the timing of the first highly effective vaccine. Vaccinations given two weeks apart suppress rather than stimulate the immune system. A series of vaccinations is given starting at 8 weeks and given 3-4 weeks apart up to 16 weeks of age. Another vaccination given sometime after 6 months of age (usually at 1 year 4 mo) will provide lifetime immunity.
"Distemper & Parvo. According to Dr. Schultz, AVMA, 8-15-95, when a vaccination series given at 3 week intervals and again at 1 year with a MLV, puppies and kitten program memory cells that survive for life, providing lifelong immunity.
"Dr. Carmichael at Cornell and Dr. Schultz have studies showing immunity against challenge at 2-10 years for canine distemper and 4 years for parvovirus. Studies for longer duration are pending.
There are no new strains of parvovirus as one manufacturer would like to suggest. Parvovirus vaccination provides cross immunity for all types.
Hepatitis (Adenovirus) is one of the agents known to be a cause of kennel cough. Only vaccines with CAV-2 should be used as CAV-1 vaccines carry the risk of "hepatitis blue-eye" reactions and kidney damage.
Bordetella Parainfluenza: Commonly called "Kennel cough", recommended only for those dogs boarded, groomed, taken to dog shows, or for any reason housed where exposed to a lot of dogs. The intranasal vaccine provides more complete and more rapid onset of immunity with less chance of reaction. Immunity requires 72 hours and does not protect from every cause of kennel cough. Immunity is of short duration (4-6 months).
