is there a possibility a puppy will die after vaccination? i need your answers asap pls.?

Answer 1

It's more likely that a puppy would die if not vaccinated, by coming in contact with the given virus....... so you should definitely get the puppy vaccinated.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible for a pup to die.
Actually, a series of vaccines is not necessary. The reason they do it is because they do not know when the mother's immunity wears off. Pups receive immunity from mom's milk. By doing a series, they hope to catch the time right after the immunity from mom's milk wears off. They then want to give another set at age one, just in case the puppy series wasn't given at the right time. Some think that the immunity wears off between 12 and 20 weeks. So if you give one set of vaccines after 20 weeks, the dog would be good for many years. The duration of immunity on vaccines has been proven to be many years, some believe that it is for the life time of the dog, but those studies are not completed yet.
Do some reading on the net about side effects from vaccines. There are many good articles that are from universities.

Answer 3

If you are concerned about your puppy having a vaccine reaction, ask your veterinarian for a dose of Benadryl to be given one hour prior to the appointment, Second option is to have the vet give an injection of an antihistimine/steroid at the same time as the vaccination. If you have a small bred dog, it is a good idea to have the vaccinations split. Such as give the Distemper vaccine on one visit, 3-7 days later give the Rabies vaccine. Vaccine reactions are easily reversed or prevented by pre-medication.

The distemper vaccine protects against multiple illness including distemper and Parvo. Each of these illness has the potential to cause death. Your puppy needs to have a series of these shots to provide immunity once the maternal antibodies have worn off.

Rabies is required by law. A unvaccinated dog who has an injury from unknown sources is put into qurantine and can be put to sleep if contact with a rabid animal is in question.

Just remember, talk to your vet. A good vet will watch over the safety and well being of your puppy.

Answer 4

Yes it is possible, but the percentage is very low.

I would be far more concerned about the puppy contracting the disease for not being vaccinated, in this instance the percentage is very high.

Weigh up the odds yourself.
