Labrador vaccinations: vaccination schedule for puppies

Labradors are sociable, intelligent dogs that prefer active, long walks. They have retained their hunting habits; they are excellent at searching for shot game on land and in water. To maintain the health of the pet, the owner will have to take care not only of its balanced diet and walks. But also about preventive vaccinations that can protect a puppy and an adult animal from viral infectious diseases.

Why are puppies vaccinated?

It is a mistake to think that you can only catch a disease through contact with a sick dog. Viruses are common in animal walking areas, training grounds, forested areas, and are found in excrement, particles of saliva, and on the owner’s shoes. Labrador puppies love to chew (including their shoes), so they are more likely to get infected.

Timely vaccination will protect him from infectious hepatitis, leptospirosis, canine distemper, parainfluenza, rabies, and parvovirus enteritis. With the help of vaccination, the pet will be injected with weakened particles of one or more viruses, in response to which the dog’s body will begin to produce antibodies, forming lasting immunity to the received antigens.

What rules are followed during vaccination?

Puppies are vaccinated according to a specific schedule in accordance with the schedule recommended by veterinary institutions. The dog must be healthy; two weeks before the vaccine is administered, the animal is given anthelmintic drugs. You should not miss a scheduled injection without good reason, especially a repeat one.

Deviations from the schedule significantly weaken the immune system, which in some cases leads to the puppy becoming infected with a dangerous disease that is difficult to treat.

Until the completion of the full course of vaccination, the Labrador is protected from contact with other people's pets. Revaccination is done at the same time, checking the dog’s vaccination passport, which contains information about the date of vaccination, its name, and the time of re-administration.

At what age are puppies vaccinated for the first time?

Dog breeders plan to give their puppies their first vaccination at two months of age. They provide detailed information to future owners about the vaccinations given, the timing of their repetition, the pet’s behavioral reactions after the procedure, and hand over a veterinary passport.

An earlier introduction of the vaccine is not advisable, since the baby still has “maternal” immunity, which will perceive the antibodies from the vaccine as a full-fledged threat, which will negate the results of immunization.

Practical scheme

The preventive schedule has long been calculated and worked out: the first injections of antibodies (vaccinations for a Labrador puppy) are carried out in the nursery. Responsible breeders vaccinate young Labradors in the first eight to nine weeks of life.

Vaccination at birth is not required - the immunity of the tailed lab is supervised by blocking the antibodies of the shaggy mother through breastfeeding.

The next series of injections is carried out at five to six months, timing the “training of the immune system” of the teenage dog with the complete change of teeth.

After treatment with all vaccines, the teenage Labrador is released from quarantine, the supervising veterinarian “gives the go-ahead” to communicate/play/train with other animals.

Modern canine pharmacology is developing “soft” (gentle) vaccination preparations: in order to avoid severe complications and associated illnesses. With the practice of such vaccines, stable immunity in animals is formed in a couple of weeks. Some antibody cocktails require a second dose, called a booster shot. Throughout the life of the charming dog, procedures are repeated once a year (vaccinations for Labrador by age).

The vaccination period is the most important and very important stage in the interaction between the pet and the owner. Expert immunologists pay special attention to the period of “immune gap”: the maternal shield is already subsiding, and the result of the vaccination has not yet been formatted. There are no trifles at this time: the dog needs attention, support, a balanced diet and careful supervision. The most difficult stage is the initial two days (forty-eight hours) of immunization: any deviations from the norm, complications of well-being and inadequate behavioral reactions are a reason to call a veterinary emergency room at home.

How to prepare for your first vaccine

Labradors receive their first vaccination at 8-9 weeks of age. It is difficult for the puppy to tolerate, so it is better not to separate him from his mother. A duplicate injection of the selected drug is administered to the dog when it reaches 3 months. The formation of stable immunity is based on the following rules that must be followed before vaccination:

assess the puppy’s health, its playfulness, appetite a few days before the injection, check its temperature readings. Report changes in behavior to your veterinarian;
carry out deworming, and after a week give an injection. To combat parasites, puppies choose liquid products (suspensions, syrups), for example, Dirofen, Prazitel;
get rid of external blood-sucking parasites - fleas, ticks - using gentle means.

Such measures will help the puppy develop an immune barrier to the injected virus, rather than wasting it on fighting parasitic cohabitants. If a Labrador shows signs of ill health, the vaccination is postponed to a more favorable period, reflecting the fact in the pet’s treatment card.

Scheme (schedule) of vaccination of puppies

Small Labradors aged 1 week and up to 7 weeks are protected from viral infections by a temporary barrier received from the mother with milk. The classic vaccination schedule followed by veterinarians prescribes the first vaccination at 8 weeks, the second at 12, and the third a year later. The scheme may be disrupted by the dog’s illness, or shifted according to the dates indicated in the individual injection product.

Walking the puppy during the period of primary vaccination is prohibited. You can have contact with animals, attend exhibitions, and travel outdoors a week after the second injection.

What vaccinations are recommended for Labradors up to one year old?

The young pet is protected primarily from particularly dangerous infections: enteritis, distemper, rabies, parvoviruses. Veterinarians have an arsenal of vaccines that differ in the number of components (against one disease or several), timing of administration, manufacturers, and price. Let's look at the most popular drugs.

Eurican

The product comes from France. One dose - 1 ml - is prepared from 2 bottles, the contents of which are mixed immediately before the injection. The vaccine forms immunity to plague, adenovirus, leptospirosis, rabies, parvovirus, and type 2 parainfluenza. The suspension is administered subcutaneously in the indicated volume. For adult dogs, the injection is painless, without any side effects later.

Duramun

Imported product (USA) with an optimal set of viral strains that allow the body to form a response to plague, adenovirus serotype II, parvovirus, coronavirus, leptospirosis, parainfluenza. A dose of medicine consists of a bottle with a lyophilized mass and a bottle with a liquid inactivated component. Before use, they are mixed, achieving a homogeneous structure by shaking.

Duramune is easily tolerated by pets, so it is often used for vaccination of puppies and lactating bitches. Regardless of the age and weight of the animal, the full volume of suspension (1 ml) is administered.

Vanguard

A distinctive characteristic of the drug from Duramun is that it does not form a response barrier against coronavirus. Otherwise, it is identical to the previous composition, is produced in America, and is suitable for immunizing 2-month-old puppies.

Nobivac

The suspension is manufactured in the Netherlands, supplied in the form of a dry powder complete with a solvent. 1 ml of the prepared solution is injected subcutaneously. The vaccination is well tolerated, but unlike other analogues, the immunity developed in the female/male is shorter, so earlier revaccination will be required. The product is characterized by a different application scheme: a third injection is added to the standard schedule at 3 months, and a fourth after changing teeth.

Planet of Labradors | a little about vaccinations the more I get to know people, the more I love dogs...

Vaccinations

* Vaccines provide 3-year protection against canine distemper, adenoviral hepatitis, respiratory tract adenovirus and canine parvovirus enteritis (X) - vaccination is possible in case of an unfavorable epizootic situation, with mandatory revaccination at 3 months of age

Anti-worming treatment is required 10 days before vaccination (see below).

You can only vaccinate your dog at a veterinary clinic or call a doctor at home!

Before vaccination, the puppy must look completely healthy and feel good. After vaccination, it is advisable to observe the puppy for 5-6 hours, and if signs of an allergic reaction appear, such as swelling of the nasopharynx, difficulty breathing, hardening of the lips, call a doctor immediately. Allergic reactions to vaccination are very rare, but, unfortunately, they do occur. Try not to combine flea and tick treatment several days before and after vaccination.

It is recommended to use vaccinations from such manufacturers as MERIAL (Eurikan, PrimoDog) and INTERVET (Nobivak).

In 30 days, the breeder can make Nobivac Puppy DP or Primodog-P.

The following vaccinations are required:

The first - at 2 months: Nobivac DHPPi, Nobivac Lepto or Eurican DHPPI2-L.

The second - after 3-4 weeks: Nobivac DHPPi, Nobivac Lepto or Eurican DHPPI2-L.

Third - after the final change of teeth (at 6-7 months): Mandatory with the rabies vaccine - Nobivak DHPPi R L.

Next, every year it is necessary to vaccinate the dog against parvovirus distemper, leptospirosis and rabies: Nobivac DHPPi Nobivac Lepto Nobivac Rabies or Eurican DHPPI2-LR.

Remember that before vaccination you must get rid of worms using the drug Drontal for puppies. If, as a result of such treatment, it is discovered that the dog has been wormed, then the treatment must be repeated and the dog must be vaccinated only after consultation with a veterinarian.

Possible consequences after injection

For several days after the injection is given, the puppy may feel unwell. The following manifestations are possible:

temperature increase;
one-time stool disorder;
refusal to eat for 2 days;
lethargy, drowsiness.
swelling or hardening at the injection site.

The listed symptoms are considered mild, they do not affect the vital processes in the body, and go away on their own in 2–3 days. They are a consequence of the introduction of viruses, the rapid activity of the defense system and its reaction to antigens.

In case of severe manifestations: vomiting, refusal of water or food for 12 hours or more, severe weakness, swelling of the injection site, the pet is urgently taken to a veterinarian for examination.

Basic care rules

When caring for a Labrador puppy, you must follow several rules:

Monitor his body temperature (several degrees above the environment, but not less than 35 degrees).
Monitor the puppy's weight and feeding (every hour and a half, it is best if the mother is constantly with the puppies).
If you are underweight, you should intervene and start feeding them or check the condition of the gastrointestinal tract and start treatment in a timely manner.
When teeth begin to erupt, give him the opportunity to chew on something.
Monitor your puppy's stool (color, smell, consistency).
Training (starts at 2-3 months).
Hair care (constant combing, keeping clean).
Timely vaccination (puppies are not protected from all diseases, so vaccination is one of the most important stages; this should be done at the age of 16 weeks).

Is quarantine necessary?

The pet's behavior should be closely monitored for about 14 days. During this period, he should be isolated from contact with other individuals, avoid walking in crowded places, and not visit dog training grounds.

You should protect your pet from stress, delay changing the diet and regime, and provide it with the necessary amount of clean water and food. It is necessary to keep the house clean and prevent your pet from interacting with outdoor shoes.

It is forbidden for the dog to take water treatments; you need to monitor the place where the injection was given and prevent it from scratching.

Nutrition in the first 3 months

The difficulty in keeping these pets in the first months lies not only in toilet training, but also in proper feeding. The digestive system of this breed is very delicate and reacts sharply to changes in diet. Therefore, this issue must be approached with all seriousness.

For the first month, the puppy feeds on mother's milk, but if there is a deficiency of calories and nutrients in it, the puppy may lose weight. In this case, you need to help him with additional nutrition.

At the age of up to 3 months, you need to pay special attention to the frequency and timing of feeding small puppies. The interval between meals is at least 1.5 hours, duration – no more than 20 minutes. You should not force feed the animal, but you should not allow it to be distracted while eating. If feeding turns into play and pampering, you need to stop it immediately.

NOTE!

You should always make sure there is water in your dog's bowl. It should always be clean and fresh, and the pet should have unlimited access to it. If you refuse to drink or feed, you should immediately consult a doctor. This may indicate serious illness.

It is best to start feeding with liquid cereals, since the pet is not able to chew food fully (teeth simply have not developed). Gradually, you can get used to dry food, which will be soaked in kefir or yogurt before feeding. To help the growing body cope with food, it is recommended to give your puppy prebiotics. This should also be done if you have loose stools.

Cost of drugs

The price of the product depends on the company selling the product and the manufacturer. Let's look at the average price range:

Vanguard - sold at the lowest selling price of 100 -150 rubles;
Nobivac - the manufacturer offers various modifications of the suspension with a price range of 200 - 250 rubles for young individuals and a cost of 150 rubles for adults;
Duramun is sold for 300 rubles, Eurikan - for 150 - 180 rubles.

When contacting an animal clinic, the cost of vaccination includes a consultation with a veterinarian, related services, giving an injection, and the cost of consumables.
