Puppies are protected against many infectious diseases through compounds called antibodies, which they receive in the first few hours from their mother's milk (colostrum). Early vaccination is pointless because these antibodies prevent vaccines working properly. However, by about six weeks the immunity provided by the mother begins to wear off. Therefore, puppies should be given their first vaccination at about 6-8 weeks and then given a second vaccination at about 8 - 10 weeks. The last set of vaccinations should be given around 12 weeks. Once puppies are vaccinated they can mix with other dogs. Early socialisation is beneficially for development. Until your puppy has received all its injections (and for a few days after), it should not mix with other dogs unless you can be certain that they are fully vaccinated and free of disease.
Dogs are vaccinated against the following diseases routinely, and they should be repeated annually:-
-
Canine distemper (hard pad)
-
Canine Infectious Hepatitis (adenovirus 1)
-
Canine parvovirus ('parvo')
-
Leptospirosis (Weil's disease)
-
Kennel cough (infectious tracheobronchitis)
-
Rabies
-
Kittens are given their initial vaccinations when they are about 6-8 weeks of age, with the final booster being given no sooner than 12-16 weeks of age. For cats older than 16 weeks of age, two doses of vaccine are given 3-4 weeks apart. Thereafter, booster vaccinations are annually here in tropical climate with so many stray animals. In temperate countries or in areas with low risk of exposure, revaccination is suggested every 3 years.
The core vaccines give to kittens and cats are those for:-
1. Feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV1)
2. Feline calicivirus (FCV),
3. Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) and
4. Rabies.
Recommended Age for Neutering?
The recommended age for puppies and kittens is usually 6 - 12 months preferrably before first oestrus (heat). For bitches and queens, this should be done either 2-4 months after oestrus (heat) or 6-8 weeks post-partum (after delivery). For the females the surgery is called ovariohysterectomy and it is a major surgery. It involves the removal of the uterus and both ovaries, and it is commonly called spaying. For males, the procedure is called castration and involves the removal of both testes and the associated epididymes. Neutering is used to refer to both male and female surgeries. Collectively, these surgeries are also refered to as gonadectomy, meaning removal of the gonads or reproductive organs.
