Long sotry short, it turns out my girls puppy vacs didnt take for some reason (canigen vac), she got paro but is fine now and no longer shedding the virus (had her tested) but we had to have her revacinated (with nobivac this time) and got to have her titre tested again befor taking her out incase they havent taken.
Does anyone know how soon after being vacinated can a dog be titre tested? My vet first wanted to test my girl 2 months after but as we are ment to be going on holliday with her they have said they could do it at a month or 3 weeks at a real push. 3weeks is 2 days befor we leave to go to familys for a day then off on the next day. The vets phoned up the lab that does the testing to see how quick they can get results and were told 2-7 days and they have phoned up nobevac to ask them what is the earlyst they can be tested (incase it is earlyer than they think) but the peopel at nobivac havent got back to them yet.

Just wondering if anyone on here knows how early it can be done.
Realy want to go but want to know she is covered, we know she is covered for parvo, she has been missed out on so much as she hasnt been allowed out for 2 months now.

Well with the old rabies/Pet Passport protocol, it was 1 month after vaccination that the dog was tested, I think?

As they titre tested for Rabies after a month and Scandinavian countries wanted 120 days from vaccine to titre, then I think you'd be fine with anything along those lines.

I would think maternal antibody interference is more likely than vaccine failure.

"A puppy is typically given a series of "puppy shots" that begins as early as six weeks of age and concludes around sixteen weeks, followed by a "booster" at around one year. These vaccinations are wasted when the puppy is still protected by the immunity he received from his mother. Maternal antibody interference is the most common cause of vaccine failure. Exactly when the immunity conferred by the mother wears off varies between puppies, but it is known to last longer than previously thought. Up to twenty percent of 18 week old puppies have enough maternal antibodies present to interfere with successful Parvo immunization. One option is to delay vaccinating entirely until the puppy is over 22 weeks of age. Delayed vaccination undoubtedly reduces the risk of VAAEs, but requires vigilance on the part of the puppy's owner to be aware of disease risk and to make intelligent choices when exposing his puppy. The time period prior to such delayed vaccination overlaps one critical to socialization, so it is important the puppy be socialized only in places where the other dogs are known to have been immunized, such as friends' homes, and not public places such as Pet Smart where the status of dogs encountered is unknown. Certainly the beginning of a vaccination series should wait until the puppy is at least eight weeks old and longer when possible. Allow a minimum of three weeks between vaccinations."

The latest 2011 US and Canadian protocols advise, that the final vaccine should be administered after 16 weeks.  https://www.aahanet.org/PublicDocuments/CanineVaccineGuidelines.pdf

Now I really don't think American and Canadian dogs have different immune systems to ours.

Thank you, so it looks like we wont be able to get her tested any earlyer then. Just have to hope for a quick result. Im hoping its something like that brainless and not something wrong with her. Any pups i get in the feuture will be vacinated later as i had her done at 8 and 10weeks. apperantly there has been a lot of dogs in south wales comming down with parvo reasontly, my girl was very lucky, we didnt think she was going to make it at one point but then she started picking up and was back home after a week at the vets.

I don't understand why we don't have our pups vaccinated later to get past maternal antibody interference as advised in the US/Canadian protocols.

I supose people want to get pup out in the world meeting others as soon as possible, that was what i was thinking with her and as the vets said it was ok i just went with it. I rember MDA form college but that was ages ago and just didnt think about it causing a problem. Defernalty will wate longer next time.

the thing is in the US they do get them out after the second jab, but the third jut makes sure it has taken.

so realy you wouldnt have to waite longer then just pay a bit extra for a third. might do that with next pup to make sure to advoid this again.

I have just come back from the Jean Dodds Seminar and she recommends vaccinating puppies no earlier than 9/10 weeks with the second around 14.

She also said that all dogs should be titre tested to identify any "non responders" as these should never be bred from.
