What should dogs pay attention to after immunization?

With people's attention to companion animals, more and more owners are willing to spend time and money to take care of their pets, such as vaccinating their pets every year, so why vaccinate their pets? What needle is it? What role does it play? What should I pay attention to before and after vaccination? Do you really understand? Let's talk about immunity today ~

First, why do you need to get vaccinated every year? What needle is it?

Why do you need an injection? I don't want an injection ~

Even aunts and mothers who have kept pets for many years are not sure why dogs have to be vaccinated every year. I only know that vaccinated dogs are not easy to get sick. Here, first of all, I tell you that vaccination actually includes two diseases. The first vaccine is rabies, a well-known zoonosis, and the other is a vaccine to prevent canine infectious diseases.

You may not be familiar with the canine infectious disease vaccine I am talking about, but it is actually what you call two vaccines, four vaccines, six vaccines and so on (hereinafter referred to as X vaccine). Because rabies is a serious zoonotic disease, almost all pet owners know it, so the efficacy and brand of rabies vaccine are not introduced here.

Inactivated vaccine, in order to be stolen by criminals, the batch number and production are mosaic by the author. The real vaccine has a line of letters and numbers here.

Today, I mainly talk about why we should give rabies vaccine to dogs every year, and we should also give the vaccine with the word "Lian". How to choose different X-linked vaccines for dogs?

According to the current statistics, Chinese mainland is a high incidence area of rabies and common infectious diseases of dogs, and pets should be injected with these two vaccines every year.

Shanghai's pet industry has developed for nearly 20 years, belonging to a relatively developed area. Pet owners have certain immunity and know that they should be vaccinated every year. But in clinic, we will still meet some owners who bring dogs for vaccination and ask them to be immunized against rabies, not against infectious diseases in dogs. As a doctor, I feel very sorry, because the vaccination of canine infectious diseases is for the health of pets, and it is also to prevent the most common and important infectious diseases of pets. It would be a pity if all these diseases are caused by lack of self-knowledge, because I believe that every dog owner loves his pet, and I also hope that dogs can get rabies vaccine healthily. If they know the importance of canine infectious disease vaccine, they should also be immunized together. The number of diseases to be prevented corresponds to the number at the beginning of the vaccine name. Two vaccines are used to prevent two infectious diseases, four vaccines are used to prevent four infectious diseases, and so on. In fact, X vaccine is easy to understand, and it is a combined immune vaccine against X disease.

Generally speaking, these combined vaccines contain diseases such as canine distemper virus disease, canine parvovirus disease, canine parainfluenza virus disease, canine adenovirus disease, canine leptospirosis (type 2) and canine coronavirus disease (type 2).

Before vaccination, you can ask the doctor what kind of vaccine to inject, including what kinds of diseases, so that you can know fairly well in the future.

There are two common vaccine producing areas in Chinese mainland, one is domestic brand vaccine (it is rarely used in Shanghai, so I am ashamed to know it) and the other is imported vaccine. The vaccine series of these companies are popular: Pfizer's Jia Wei series, Merck's Pet Bureau, and French Melia's You Le Kang series. The product name was changed to Pet Bureau, and Meria in France was also acquired by Merck, but the name is still used there, but the brand of Merck will be on the bottle, and Fudao in the United States was also acquired by Pfizer, so don't get me wrong ~), like the Shanghai area where the author is located, the proportion of imported vaccines used by pet hospitals is very high, and the brands are not limited. All three imported vaccines are very popular and can be used by healthy adult dogs unless.

It is emphasized here that there are rules for the preservation and injection of vaccines. It is not known whether the vaccines purchased by online stores are picked up by qualified suppliers. Vaccines are biological products. Everyone knows that biological products have high requirements for the environment. Improper storage and transportation methods will directly affect the effect of the vaccine, including the precautions that the rubber of the bottle cap cannot contact with pollutants. If it is contaminated, it must be disinfected with 75% alcohol, and the bottle cap can only be taken after it is completely dry. Vaccination is still very popular, and the price on the market is not too bad. Going to the hospital for an injection can not only let the doctor evaluate the physical condition of the puppy, but also the way of inoculation and administration will be safer and more effective.

Vaccines are divided into aqua and powder to form a combined vaccine, namely Pfizer Jia Wei series vaccines.

The blue cover is Intemet attenuated quadruple vaccine, and the gold cover is inactivated leptospira bivalent vaccine.

Second, how often do you get vaccinated? What should I pay attention to before and after vaccination?

The recommended immunization interval for healthy adult dogs in Chinese mainland is 1 1~ 12, once a month. However, the immunization procedure of puppies in the first year is different, so they need to be vaccinated against infectious diseases in batches. The time interval of enhancing immunity is 3~4 weeks. According to the first immunization vaccine, it is generally necessary to inject 2~3 times of canine infectious disease vaccine. Generally speaking, healthy puppies over 3 months need to be injected with rabies vaccine again at the same time (some brands of rabies vaccine can be injected in 12 weeks, but the most important thing is to correctly complete the procedures for immunization of dogs against infectious diseases! )

Whether it is an adult dog or a puppy, it is necessary to ensure good health one week before vaccination. Simply put, eating and drinking Lazar is normal, and there is no cough, cold and runny nose. Observe for 30 minutes after inoculation to see if there is any allergic phenomenon. Avoid bathing and swimming within one week after inoculation, and do not change your eating habits (such as changing dog food). Dogs with weak constitution can drink more water, have more rest and supplement some immune polysaccharides appropriately.

First of all, talk about vaccine allergy. Some dogs will have red eyes, swollen face, drooling and red skin due to allergies. Please go back to the hospital in time to inject desensitization needles, and ask the doctor to record the specific brand of your dog's immunization and the full name of vaccination. Avoid this vaccine in the second year of immunization. Generally speaking, this kind of performance will disappear within 8 hours.

"I swear I am a real chihuahua ~"

This Chihuahua swore that she had allergic reaction to facial swelling 0/5 minutes after vaccination, and immediately returned to the hospital for desensitization treatment. Poor thing ~ I won't play this brand next time ~

Secondly, it will cause stress reaction, just like a child being vaccinated. In the first two days after vaccination, dogs look a little tired, and some have a fever and loss of appetite, which is a natural reaction of the body. For example, X-linked vaccines are all attenuated vaccines. After N generations of attenuated strains are injected into the body, the body produces corresponding antibodies, so that dogs' own antibodies can protect themselves from viruses when they encounter such viruses in their lives. When playing attenuated vaccine, you can imagine that the dog's own guards are fighting with a group of defeated soldiers, grabbing weapons and winning. Next time they meet the enemy, they will use this weapon to kill the enemy. If a well-built dog does not feel anything in the process of fighting for weapons, then some delicate and sensitive dogs will feel tired and listless. Therefore, after vaccination, it is necessary to reduce the possibility of this external stress reaction, that is, not to change living habits and avoid fatigue or even physical discomfort caused by bathing and swimming.

Having said that, we can explain why we should ensure good health one week before vaccination, because only the soldiers in healthy dogs have the strongest vitality, the best immune effect and relatively small immune response. If puppies with gastrointestinal symptoms or respiratory symptoms explain these parts and some minor problems, then vaccination can easily be defeated by the virus and induce such diseases.

The lovely myna Jojo is only two months old, and the cold is always good and bad. My mother tried to vaccinate Jojo, but every time she got sick, she failed.

Drinking more water after vaccination can accelerate the metabolism of delicate and sensitive dogs. Of course, many dogs are unwilling to drink it. What the owner can do in time is to ensure that there is always fresh water in the dog's basin. More rest is to make the dog quiet, reduce going out, and add some special immune polysaccharide nutrients to the diet, which is equivalent to adding equipment to the dog's soldiers, winning quickly and recovering faster.

Last but not least, it is rare. For example, some dogs will swell and depilate at the injection site after vaccination, and even skin necrosis will occur in severe cases. For example, after vaccination, they will have systemic symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. In such cases, please contact the injection hospital immediately and ask the doctor for advice. It's best to take them to the hospital and let the doctor judge whether to treat them immediately. This probability is very, very small, but it is also recorded because of immunity.

Of course, there are also many dogs who have finished vaccination and have no abnormal reaction at all. Congratulations, your dog has adapted well to the current vaccine. You just need to remember to have regular injections every year.
