Puppy
shots and deworming schedule
Puppies
are born with immature immune systems which make them highly susceptible to
contracting disease. Thankfully, their mothers transfer to them part of their
own immunity via colostrum when they nurse. Colostrum is a substance found in
the mother's milk for the first few days after giving birth. It provides her
newborns with important protective proteins against several diseases. These
agents are known as "maternal antibodies". As long as maternal antibodies to a
particular disease are active in the newborn's system, they will help give
protection against that disease. However, these antibodies can also render some
types of vaccines ineffective against various diseases during the time they are
functional. How long these maternal antibodies last varies between individuals
and is affected by many factors. Therefore, the typical puppy vaccine
series starts around 6-8 weeks of age. Boosters are administered every 2-4
weeks.
