Among dog breeders and hobbyists, said the vaccination or vaccine is very familiar. It may even have become part of the ‘journey’ of life and the dog hobbyists themselves. Why? Because vaccination has become an obligation for hobbyists or breeders for dogs kept protected from infectious diseases are deadly. However, many misunderstandings and false perceptions about vaccination itself.
This paper does not intend to patronize or discredit any party, because that is written is the fact that encountered in the field during practice. Dubai Escort
Here are various myths about vaccination:
1. Vaccines can prevent the dog immediately from the disease.
Wrong. Vaccination to form the body’s immune (antibody) optimum of a given vaccine (antigen) takes 10-14 days. Formed before the optimum immunity, which has vaccinated dogs can still be stricken with the disease. For example, a puppy was 6 weeks Parvovirus vaccine, immunity newly formed body will reach the optimum 14 days later. In the 14-day period, the puppy is still vulnerable to attacks Parvo virus.
2.Vaksinasi quite all, need not be repeated.
Wrong. The principle of immunity is memory, because the antibodies formed from cells of the immune response to antigen memory have provided. The more often given antigen, the higher the levels of antibodies produced, as well as the more seldom when antigen is given, the lower the antibody levels are also owned. Examples of cases, a puppy was 6 weeks Parvo vaccine, 4 weeks later were given the vaccine containing 6 types of disease (Parvovirus, distemper, Parainfluenza, Hepatitis, Leptospira? L.canicola & L.icterohaemorrhagiae), repeated 12 months (one year) and then . Here seen despite repeated vaccination, only vaccination against Parvovirus is repeated, while others are only given once to a period of 12 months. Naturally, antibody levels against distemper, Parainfluenza, Hepatitis and Leptospira are not high enough and the result can still be attacked by dogs such diseases. Even on a particular race is required vaccinations against certain diseases are more frequent (Rottweiler, Dobermann Pinschers and other races are more susceptible to Parvovirus). There are several standard vaccination protocols recommended by the manufacturer of the vaccine, hobbyists stay asking and asking the opinion of a veterinarian.
3.Vaccination anyone can do.
Wrong. Vaccination can be likened to two sides of the blade, hobbyists expect the dog immune to the disease after vaccination, but there is a possibility that happened was the opposite, namely dogs sick after receiving the vaccination, and eventually die. Because the risk of such a large, highly recommended for vaccination to entrust veterinary practitioners. Feasible or whether the dog receives the vaccine was decided by a veterinarian after examining carefully the health status of these dogs.
4.When a plague in the kennels, the vaccine can be given to prevent the number of deaths is greater.
Yes. Examples of cases, in a kennels there are some dogs that attacked Parvovirus, to prevent more deaths from the virus, vaccination should be done on all dogs were clinically healthy with single Parvovirus vaccine. Cultivated vaccine used has a level (titer) a high antigen immune to high enough that form also. Dogs who have contracted the virus will die within 2-4 days, while the dog is not infected will survive. This strategy is able to suppress the number of deaths due to very significant Parvovirus.
5. Dogs which already had vaccinated should not be bathed.
Yes. To produce the maximum antibody levels, required an optimum body temperature. Bath will lower body temperature and can affect the formation of antibodies. Dogs should be bathed after 7 days, and some have suggested up to 14 days after vaccination.
6. Dogs who had received a routine and regular vaccinations for 6-7 years do not need to be repeated.
Yes. Because the receiving routine vaccinations and regular for 6-7 years, these dogs antibody titer was optimum, so that repetition can be given 2 years.
7. Vaccination in dogs that are pregnant should not be done.
Yes. Although there is a safe vaccine for the current indukan bunting, should not give the vaccination to indukan. Possible miscarriage can occur very big.
8. Puppies can be vaccinated immediately after birth
Wrong. The new puppy has been born from the parent body’s immune (maternal antibodies) that will be lost when puppies reach the age of 6 weeks. If the 6 weeks before we gave the vaccine, then the existing maternal antibodies will neutralize incoming antigens, antibodies formed as a result is not sufficient to protect the puppy from the actual disease.
So a few myths about vaccination encountered during practice. The conclusion is: vaccination requires stringent requirements for maximum immunity. Only a practicing veterinarian who has the right to give vaccinations after first checking the condition of the dogs will be vaccinated.
