Brian-911 210 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Got new pup bloke said he already give it jab, just gives if the one, anyhow I asked if it had the parvo jab he said never had parvo. So rang vets and thought I'd just get another jab done just incase that'll cover parvo too. The she starts going on about how it should have 2 jabs 1 at 8 wks that covers the first lot of stuff then the second 2 weeks later which covers second amount of stuff. Now is this true or is the second one the same as first and it's just to makesure it takes and for them to get more money. I don't know what jabs to get her now !!???

BEARINATOR 2,872 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) They have 2 jabs to start with, it covers the 4 major diseases , if you are unsure just get her jabbed at the vets mate as it's better to be safe than sorry Edited June 11, 2012 by BEARINATOR 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beast 1,884 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 they normally charge a flat fee for the two jabs, so you won't lose anything by only getting one done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
graham4877 1,181 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 you do know both jabs are the same as each other don't you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) The reason they give two is because some puppies are still carrying a bit of maternal immunity from their dam when they get the first jab,which makes the jab ineffective, so the second is just to be on the safe side: better safe than sorry IMO.

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 So I suppose this bloke must have given her the first one. So I'll get second one done. Cheers Don't just guess mate, make sure she gets both her needles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOPPER 1,809 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 as skycat said but the main reason vet jab twice is becauce they jab to young and they tend to jab for parvo and then lepto in a seperate jab , some pups jabbed at 8 weeks wil just piss out any benifits of the jab its better to leave them to 10 --12 weeks then jab them , if an 8 in 1 jab is used then you only need to jab once , brian if you want bring it around here and i ll jab it or you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I said that to the vet that the second ones just to makesure and she said no, one does 2 main disease and the other does the other 2 main disease's.
