Thanks LotGs. How are the beautiful Pugsly & Wednesday doing? Will you run them on?

Quick question, I changed the meat component of my bitches diet on Tuesday and the pups were starting to get runny poo yesterday (thurs). Would you presume this is related? Do many pups go through a runny poo stage? Cheers. ETA we are 14 days old today

Did you get your vac and ear check? If not did you pay?

I am SO hoping he is! LOL If i get to say I HOPE makes it as show babies my choices are Boy 2 and Girl 6! fingers crossed! Nice choices! I am finding the waiting to see hard too... At least I know the bitch Im running on as she is the only one LOL. I HOPE my B&W boy 1 is my show boy! Fingers crossed for both of us!

Beautiful babies... LOVE boy 2 too lol. He is a show star waiting to happen he reckons!

Looking good LotG

Oh they are so cute!

Awesome Murmarstaffs!

Thought I would share some updated pics @ 9 days. I will keep the Brindle girl (2nd pic) and one of the boys to have a bit of fun in the ring with. Not sure which one yet though gosh I hope its the B&W Boy 1 (1st pic). He is a little stud muffin!!

Oh noooooooo. How devastating for you and mum. :D RIP little girl.

I want to go to Luci this Tues if show training is on.

Woohoo AdJ. Well done!!! Beautiful Whippet pics too K!

I can only find info from 2005 on Jean Dodds vac schedule... Id prefer to find something much more current from her. ETA just found a 2008 update...

I need to read Jean Dodds info... Have heard a bit about it lately. Going to google now.

Thats what I got told too Oakway. I am glad there is a fast track vaccine course as I want to be out a showgrounds ect from 12 weeks and would like to be covered from before then if possible. I am curious how they cut through maternal antibodies though and how you can have a 36 hour turnaround. The vac company obviously couldnt make this claim if it was not true and the vac has been around for about 4 years now (i think) so plenty long enough for complaints to filter in. I also learnt that Protec have a vac called something like duramine that also cuts through maternal antibodies and it also is a 6-8 then 10-12 vac and your done for 12 months. Ill probably titre at 14 weeks and again at 18 weeks just to see as this is my first time using the 10 week Nobivac and go from there.

Thanks for the info Boxerheart.

I don't think so. It takes two weeks for the body to develop immunity and there is a process the body must go through to do this. No shortcuts, whiling it is going through this process the mothers immunity is compromised. That is why we vaccinate at 6 weeks and not home them till 8 weeks. If I must , I shall dredge out my anatomy and physiology books and write a short essay in correct jargon (if my simple explanation is not to be believed :D I found out yesterday that Nobivac claim that their vac can cut through maternal antibodies so you give a c3 at 6 weeks and then the Nobivac c3 or c5 at 10 weeks and thats it for 12 months. Nobivac claim their 10 week vac works in 36 hours and you can take your pups out after this... the vet said 7 days to be safe.

Something called F10 also kills parvo though it is very expensive. Thank you all for your replies.

Thank you!

Thanks Danois!

Thanks Clyde. Anyone had problems with the 6 week then 10 week vac?

Anyone know a vet that stocks/uses Nobivac in Western Sydney or Sydney in general?

Awww RIP little lost puppy Glad mum and pup are doing well.... we need a photo now Heres a photo of our pup, taken last night She'll be the worlds cleanest puppy because Checa won't stop fussing over her! How HUGE is she. RIP the pup you lost

Thanks for all your replies. Re: All dogs at show grounds being vaccinated, I was going through past threads and noticed that there have been confirmed cases of parvo (2008 was the last one i saw, not sure about cases since then) at Erskine Park and other dog specific show grounds... Hence the worry of taking a young pup to the grounds.

Thanks for the reply... Did she have a course of 2 or 3 vac's? She obviously survived
