Can pups wait to be vaccinated until 9 weeks of age?
A puppy receives it's first antibodies in the milk of it's mother, until it's two days of age. It must be noted that the puppy will only receive antibodies against diseases for which the mother had been recently vaccinated against or exposed to. As an example, a mother that had NOT been vaccinated against or exposed to parvovirus, would not have any antibodies against parvovirus to pass along to her puppies. The puppies then would be susceptible to developing a parvovirus infection.The antibodies from the mother generally circulate in the puppy's blood for a number of weeks. There is a period of time from several days to several weeks in which the maternal antibodies are too low to provide protection against the disease, but too high to allow a vaccine to work. This period is called the window of susceptibility. This is the time when despite being vaccinated, a puppy (or kitten) can still contract the disease.It is often recommended to vaccinate puppies with a combination vaccine at 6-7 weeks of age initially, with boosters given every three weeks until the puppy is about sixteen weeks of age. You should not put off inoculating your 9 week old puppy. Until your puppy has gotten the entire series of puppy vaccines, it should not be allowed to interact with dogs that are not current on it's vaccines.
How long does it take for a parvo vaccination to work on a puppy?
In general, it takes about 10 days to 2 weeks for an animal to build a decent immune response after being vaccinated. However, with puppies you also have to consider that maternal antibodies may still be present prior to 16 weeks of age and they may prevent a good immune response from being triggered. Therefore it's not recommended that very young puppies be exposed to areas where other puppies are because there is more risk of exposure to disease as puppies are more susceptible.
