puppy shots

[susancornell]

I gave my puppys their first shot today and I missed one and do not remember witch one it was can I give them and when again

ALSO...puppies should NOT be given another vaccination
BEFORE another 6 weeks( hoping here the pups are at
least 8 weeks old now??? DO NOT revaccinate all of the
puppies for the sake of the one missed!
They DO NOT NEED LEPTO...PLEASE,they'd need
a Distemper-Parvo,bottles usually read something like
DHLPP-Parvo or say on each bottle Distemper-Parvo
they also do not need Corona (unless this is a serious
issue in your area) and NEVER,EVER give more than
the ONE vaccination at one time so you do not over-
load their immune systems.EVEN ADULT DOGS should
NEVER be given more than one vaccination at one time
wait...Example:
the vet says your dog is due for a Distemper-Parvo AND
the Rabies is due,"sure it's ok to do both now" DON'T DO
it,give the Distemper-Parvo,wait for 2 weeks then go back
to do the Rabies..doing too many vaccinations at one time
can really wreck the immune system...it's only time,you'd
be better to wait do them seperate.
NEXT TIME if you vaccinate,have a box set to the side,
vaccinate and set each puppy in the box...THEN YOU'LL
KNOW who got a vaccination...there are other ways to do
a puppy one at a time but this is a simple way.
My vaccines were sent for,came with a cold pack over-
night shipping,cold pack still had slush,vaccines put into
the fridge right away,CAN NOT be left at room temperature
as Margot asked,"where did you get your vaccines" ? NOT
the feed store I hope?
Many people buy vaccines from reputable businesses,we
all had to do it the first time too,we all learned,just be more
cautious and DO NOT give these vacinations in the muscle
they go just under the skin...remember the box,vaccinate
pup,put in box...
How old are your puppies?? If you do not feel secure in giv-
ing vaccinations,want to be sure each is done,like Tony said,
you might want to have your vet give the next vaccinations?

Tony, I understand your concerns.  Actually, many of us who showed dogs used to give our own vaccines except, Rabies, which has to be given by a Vet or authorized clinic.  We only used Reputible distributors and made sure all vaccines were shipped on cold packs. Never bought from feed stores, etc.  We also ordered our syringes that way.  Our Vets were fully aware of this and we just made sure our shot records at the Vet's office were kept up to date.  Of course, we pretty much knew what we were doing.
Just in case a dog  should have a reaction, Lepto being the most common, never gave shots unless I knew my Vet was open.  
As a general rule, fir most pet owners, it is better to have the Vet give the vaccines.

I understand that in many parts of the world dog owners can buy vaccinations online and have them shipped with needles and syringes ... which frankly, I find slightly alarming. Not knowing which vaccinations have been given and which have been missed, is just one of my many concerns of DIY veterinary procedures.

How old are the pups and what shot did you give?  Where did you get your vaccines from?
