My puppy had it's first vaccination at 7 weeks and 6 days whilst at the breeders.
My own vet doesn't stock it for the 2nd jab so I rang another to find the right brand. The lady who answered the phone at the second vets said that because pup had the 1st jab at 7 weeks and 6 days instead of at 8 weeks, she might have to have the course of 2 again !?
Any advice appreciated.

I only know from having my puppy but she was done at just over 7 weeks and then again at 10 weeks.  I have heard that sometimes due to them having antibodies still from mum the initial vaccine doesn't trigger and then they can have compromised immunity, but the only way to be sure would be to do antibody tests.  Not sure if that would be cheaper than just doing the two again?

Is the breeder's vet within reach, they would presumably be ok to give the 2nd jab 2 weeks after the first. Otherwise you'll probably stuck with starting the course again, unfortunately. :-(

The second vet's practice that I spoke to stocks the right vaccine.
What I was getting at is that because pup had the first vaccination 1 day early ( at 7 weeks and 6 days rather than at 8 weeks ) that she has to have both again.
Is that right ?

I've never heard of that. The first vax can be given a bit earlier than 8 weeks on the dot and the second at 10 weeks without problems. It's only if the first is given at about 6 weeks that a second might be needed at 8 weeks with a third at 10 weeks, but not just a single day early.

Thanks for that - I couldn't believe that one day could make that much difference !

I am interested to see that you have put that the second jab is at 10 weeks, as the vet who did her first jab with the breeder has written 12 weeks for the second jab  on her vaccination card.
I obviously would like to be able to take her out walking to socialise, and mixing with a relative's dog ASAP. ( yes I am socialising her in my arms whilst waiting to be able to put her down)

It might depend on the brand; we use Canigen and that specifies 10 weeks or over for the second injection, and at least 2 weeks after the first.

If your relative's dog is healthy and fully vaccinated there should be no problem sociaising with it - after all, you wouldn't keep your own other dogs away from the puppy. :-) It's only dogs of unknown health status that are the risk.

I think it something like Nobivac - can't check right now as pup is asleep on my knee !

Nobivac is also 10 weeks or over. :-)

So should I phone and ask to speak to the vet who is going to give the second jab to confirm ?

I think that would be a good idea; as far as our practice is concerned you're being given very odd advice!

Thanks, will phone them. The sooner I can get pup out and about the better !
At what age did you microchip your toy poodles Jean ?

Me? I don't have toy poodles ... you must be confusing me with someone else. :-)

Sorry !!!
Think I should be directing that question at JeanSW !

I don't have any toys vaccinated before 10-12 weeks.  But, to be fair, a lot of toy breeds will suckle until then.  They are mixing with large dogs from very early on, and it has never affected socialisation for me.

But I do take mum and litters on holiday with me, and they have a large puppy pen outside the caravan, and the world and his wife come to be nosey!   Not having children, I use other peoples kids to interact with my pups (under supervision.)  Long before any jabs have been carried out.

At what age do you microchip your toys Jean ?

I take pups for their 6 month puppy health check (when I get the vet to see what milk teeth have been retained), and he chips them then.

He does me a deal, so it's a free visit, as I pay for chipping when I pay for jabs, and he only charges me around £7 for the chip.

Edited to add.  He won't chip a pup on the same visit as their jabs, as any negative reaction can put the pup off going to the vet.  Although it is my choice to wait until 6 months.

Spoke to the vet, 2nd jab at 10 weeks.
Thanks for replies.
