Hello and welcome to this new video from Animal Expert. Today we'll be talking about dog vaccines, both for puppies and adults. Take note as they are essential for their health. We'll start by talking about puppies. They are born with an immature immune system that is unable to protect them against infectious diseases. That's why they need to drink colostrum, which is the first liquid that comes out of the bitches breasts and contains antibodies that will protect the puppies for a while. However, the antibodies provided by Colostrum are limited around 45 days of life. When the puppy's immune system is mature enough, the dog's vaccination schedule begins. There are two types of essential and optional. The former protect the puppy from diseases that are present all over the world, while the latter occur, for example, in certain geographical regions, so they are not always administered. Essential vaccines are those against distemper and infectious hepatitis, parbovirus and rabies. In the meantime, optional vaccines include leptospirosis, canine parainfluenza, kennel cough, ME disease and coronavirus. Remember that a vaccine that is optional in one country may be mandatory in another. This is the vaccination schedule that dogs should generally follow. However, each veterinarian may recommend a different schedule depending on the dog's situation. Don't forget that the polyvalent vaccine contains the adenovirus that protects against kennel cough and infectious hepatitis, but it also contains protection against distemper and parbovirus. Finally, we would like to remind you that dogs may experience adverse effects such as lethargy, swelling, fever or loss of appetite. However, if you notice more serious effects such as an allergic reaction, vomiting, diarrhea or difficulty breathing, see your veterinarian immediately. We hope that this advice is useful and if you have any questions, see your veterinarian. Until next time. Exper Sam.
