Vaccination, help!

[jonbradford]

Hi all,

Not quite sure how to begin but we're super worried about our puppy's health and vaccination status. Obviously it's the Easter weekend so we won't be able to contact our usual vet until Tuesday so we thought to post here.

Our Pomsky (Husky x Pomeranian) is 10 weeks and five days old today. She had her first shot of Vanguard at 7 weeks and 1 day old which is okay by guidelines.

We initially had her age slightly wrong and so gave her the second shot two weeks later after the first (9 weeks and 1 day).

We've been reading a lot online and found that the second Vanguard shouldn't be administered any earlier than 10 weeks old.

So our questions: Can we consider her situation normal? Or do we have to get her vaccinated again on Tuesday (11 weeks and 1 day) because the second didn't count? Have we adversely affected her health in any way? Will she be okay?

Thanks so much for any and all input

@jonbradford As a veterinary professional, I’ve not heard of this. However, based on Zoetis’s website, dogs can be 6 weeks or older.

She should be vaccinated every 3-4 weeks or so until she’s 16 weeks of age to be considered fully vaccinated

@wandalouise Thanks, does it not make a difference that this is for Vanguard plus 5?

Ours was Vanguard 7
