Vaccination question - Page 1

 Can anyone please post an easy to read timetable for vaccinations required through time life for any GSD.

Thanks.

When Parvo came, I found that DHLP-Parvo shots started at 5 weeks of age (on the dot) and given every 3 weeks, until 4 months of age (5 shots) worked.  No more parvo.  No distemper, No hepatitis, no Leptosprosis .  I do not give any more shots except rabies.  I do not get any diseases after 4 months of age.  Ever.  I go to dog shows, herding trials, training classes.  Dogs from all over.  No problems,  No problems with immune diseases in old age either.  Calif.: Rabies shot due at 4-5 months of age.  1 year license.  Then a rabies shot every 3 years.  No rabies in dogs since 1961 in San Diego County, so it works.  I have had some diseases similar to parvo, (a corona virus?) during the 1990s when pups were about 7 weeks of age or so  Other people's pups had the diseases too.  They were easy to treat,  hand feeding of very slurpy canned dog food, and amoxicilan by weight.  I haven't had any of these "little" diseases since 2000 or so.  Corona virus shots were included in the regular one ie DHCP-Parvo sold as puppy shots.  But then I have heard that these corona shots don't work.  Oh well.  We had 2 heartworm cases one year, near to Camp Penelton.  It's too dry for many mosquitos, unless you live near an estuary or perhaps reservoirs.  I have only heard of one German Shepherd that had heartworms, and that was about 40 years ago.  I have never given heartworm medicine.  We don't have Lyme disease here either.  The deer don't carry it.  Bortedella shots are only good for 6 months.  So only if you board your dog do you need it.  Needless to say I treat my own pups.  I go to a breeder vet. who will give me prescrictions as I need them/  Check with the long time breeders in your area for the problems you may have.  By the way, a book written by a vet for self diagnosing of problems, gave a 4 week interval for DHP-P shots.  Good luck  Have Fun  Alice 

Consult your local vet, as your locality or region might have some variation from the standard routine. Normally, you give first shot of "Dhlpp" at 6 weeks of age, second shot of Dhlpp at 8 weeks and again at 12 weeks(some vets gives at intervals of 3 weeks). Your locality or region might require "heart worm" prevention: consult your vet. At 4 months of age you give "anti-rabies". Note: you'll need annual boosters thereafter. However, these are subject to your local laws or legislation. ie in my locality or region, you'll have to produce an "anti-rabies vaccination certificate" of not more than "one year" in the event that you pet got someone bitten. On the other hand, recent discoveries show that these vaccines last near a life time. But for the sake of your pets health, others and the law, it's advisable that you adhere to the "annual boosters". Still see your local vet.

 Thanks alot for the info, appreciated :))

Google it The guidelines are available on the web. Give only the core vaccinations.

Basically

Rabies-- per law or every three years after the first one-year shot.

All based on Modified Live Virus--Parvo, Distemper, hepatitis--every three years after the last shot at 16 weeks of age.

Other  bacterial and killed virus, every year.

I agree with Parvo only until week 16, and than DHPP, or DHLPP.
