low plains drifter 11,248 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 My bitch had been jabbed along with her littermates, took her to the vets at 8 and 10 weeks for the proper ones, vet said there was no point in them being done earlier 1 Quote Link to post

No dramas mate we all started somewhere ... give it a week to settle in and just enjoy the little thing ... plenty of play and reward ... get it out and about even if you carry it everywhere let it see smell hear loads of different things it's brain is growing so fillmit full of anything you can when it's young ... if something spooks it just stay calm resist the act of comforting it as all you will do is confirm it should be scared ... just be chilled And allow it soak everything up ... but don't forget it's only weeks old so little and often ? 1 1 Quote Link to post

Nice one mate I'll definitely take all that on board, I pick him up on Friday so I'll be sure to keep everyone updated and ask for more advice at a few hurdles!

When i had mine done last year the vet said i had to wait 2 weeks before jabs because it would be stressed and the jabs will cause more stress.like you put. 1st jab at 10 weeks,2nd jab at 14 weeks and the 3rd at 15 weeks then 2 weeks after there fully innoculated.but took them places where there's no dogs or livestock. Just telling the bloke how it was for me. 1 Quote Link to post
