shots ques.?

[jun_crack333]

i bought a pit 3 months ago she is now 5 months old and the guy i bought it from told me that she had her first two shots. wat two shots are the first ones that they get? and can i give the dog both shots all over again if i can't find out which ones she has

Is there any way for you to get ahold of the guy you got the pup from and ask which shots they were? most likely it was just a puppy shot from the local feed store...which is usally a 7 in 1...but not always though.

Go ahead & get your dog vaccinated with an 8-1 vaccine & the Rabies vaccine (which must be done by a licensed vet). Then in 1 month, administer another 8-1 vaccine & your dog should be good to go. Still try to find out what the breeder gave, but I have a very strong feeling about people who vaccinate with no proof or detailed information to give you...............

Question for the proponents of the 7-1 or 8-1 vaccination givers? Why and what’s the purpose of doing such unless in an epidemic area?

I usually start with the 5-1 for the first two and then do 2 of 7-1. With the new pups I have, the only thing available locally were 7-1 so that was that. I'm not even familiar with the 8-1....what all does that cover? I'd read somewhere that they shouldn't receive the lepto until 16? weeks. I pretty much have followed the recommendations in one of the vet supply mags I receive. I'd welcome any additional info some of you more knowledgeble owners have eg: pros and cons of the various vaccines. It sounds like you have some additional insight, Texas...I'd be grateful.
