♥Bruno♥ Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Below is a Vaccination Schedule I received from my vet. It's quite comprehensive and will hopefully be of some help to any first time puppy owners. Note that the costs listed are what my vet charges, costs may vary between vets. Puppy C3 Covers Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis. For puppies 6-12 weeks only. $52.30 C3 Covers Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis. Pups older than 12 weeks. $56.30 C5 Covers Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Bordatella. Includes full cover for Kennel Cough. $74.35 Extras (given in addition to one of the above) C2i Covers Leptospirosis, Caronavirus. Caronavirus is similar to parvo. Leptospirosis is a common disease in South West Qld. For puppies up to 15 months old. $24.75 Tetanus Covers Tetanus. Recommended for working dogs, pig dogs, or any dogs in contact with livestock. Also important for teething puppies, and pups prone to simple wounds such as cracked teeth and cracked toe nails. $16.90 KC Covers Kennel Cough. Required for dogs who travel or may board in kennels. This vaccine is also included in C5 vaccination. $32.15 Heartworm - SR12 Yearly injection, but puppies require two injections in their first year. Cost depends on the size of your dog. In summary, your pup will require one of the first three vaccines (puppy C3, C3 or C5) at 6, 12 and 16 weeks (approx). The Extras listed are helpful if you are unsure what vaccinations your dog has had, or if your dog is in an area where the diseases listed are prevalant.

Poodle wrangler Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Many DOLers prefer not to give the yearly heartworm injection due to possible side effects. Something to discuss with your vet if you're considering it. It's easy to give a monthly heartworm tablet which includes cover for most of the intestinal worms, too e.g. Interceptor Spectrum (just what I use, not trying to spruik it).

tryamartimmy Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Is there anything in the 12 week vaccination that my Chihuahua puppy shouldn't have? I vaguely remember someone warning owners of little dogs off of a specific treatment. Might have been Lepto, but I'm not sure. Any help would be great. She's going in for her 12 week vaccination today after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle wrangler Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Sorry, am not sure. I got the 'C5' just in case kennelling was required at some stage in the next year- usually the minimum requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
