Hi Guys, can anyone give me advice on if its ok to take a dog out straight after the third injection as some vets say yes and some wait a week WHAT DID YOU DO ? Milo has third one Monday and can't wait to get him out and about but want to be sure Thanks
Re: first time out I'm guessing you are not in the uk? Here we only have two vaccinations. Vets generally advice waiting two weeks after the second, however it can vary on where you live and the risks in your area. For example my mum lives in the countryside and her vet said it was ok to take her pup out straight away aftrt the second vax, whereas I live in the city and was told to wait the full two weeks.
Re: first time out I LIVE IN MALTA AND HERE THEY HAVE 3 THE THIRD A BOOSTER OF THE SECOND MAYBE GOOD IDEA TO WAIT A WEEK
Re: first time out The best thing is to follow your vets instructions, as they can judge what the local situation is. Hang in there, a week here or there is nothing in the long run, compared to the health of your pup.
Re: first time out Guide Dogs have three vaccinations in the UK 6, 12 and 16 weeks, so Gypsy can't go on grass 'till she's 17 weeks as we have to wait a week after the third. I have been carrying her everywhere and letting her walk in non-dog areas. No puppy classes except Guide Dog classes 'till then either. It means her lead work is great (13 weeks) but recall will need some work when the time comes!

There are some very knowledgeable people on this forum but ... your local vet is placed placed to advise on your particular circumstances.
