Can my pet get a distemper vaccine as a single shot, not a combo?

Thank you for submitting your question. You will need to consult a local attorney for legal advice. Veterinary practice laws vary from state to state. Distemper vaccines can be purchased over-the-counter in most areas. However, the act of administering them can be considered practicing veterinary medicine. If this is the case, it can only be done by a veterinarian. Your business idea is a noble idea, but you will need to investigate the legal side of it more. Good luck!

There are a whole lot of different vaccines available out there in the world. The one to which you are referring is the Distemper Combination vaccine. In my book, as long as the vaccine is offering protection for the distemper virus, parvovirus, adenovirus, and para-influenza, all the rest are bonuses. But, just make sure that whatever vaccine is being given offers protection for those. If not, I would choose something different. I would also make sure that if you are administering vaccines yourself rather than going to a vet, that you use a very reputable place to purchase them. If the shots were not be refrigerated or were in an inappropriate environment, they may be ineffective. Hope this helps!

I believe you mean the distemper vaccine. Feline distemper vaccine is a combination vaccine including feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia. You can give your local VetCo a call to make Oreo an appointment to get it done. At seven months of age, he should have one now, and another in four weeks to make sure he is fully protected. I hope this helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Charlie. Puppies are typically vaccinated for the distemper virus. However, some are never taken to a veterinarian. So I would certainly recommend having Charlie vaccinated now. He would need an initial vaccine and then a booster in 3-4 weeks. This will ensure that he is adequately protected. I hope this information helps!

Yes you can, just check online for your closest branch and give them a call in order to make an apointment. here is the full pricelist as well: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/

Yes, just make sure the distemper vaccine does not already contain the parvo vaccine so you are not double dosing with the parvo virus. Also make sure to handle to vaccine appropriately. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

This depends upon how many vaccines he received as a pup. If he received his full vaccine course of 2-3 shots, then a booster 6-1onths later is recommended and yes, i would get him a booster now. If he only received a single vaccine originally then i would restart his full course as soon as possible given the risk of exposure
