My dog was vaccinated. What if she's pregnant or pseudopregnant?

There is no problem with the rabies vaccination and pregnancy because it is a killed virus. The parvo and lepto vaccines are modified live vaccines and could cause abortion, resorption of the fetuses or stillbirths. If she has pseudopregnancy there is no issues to be worried about.

Hi there. We don't normally recommend vaccinating pregnant dogs, since if she would happen to have a reaction to the vaccines, this could cause significant problems for the developing puppies or even cause her to lose the pregnancy. So if you think Rosie might be pregnant, I would recommend waiting until after she's had the puppies, and then having her vaccinations updated.

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The timing of Lucy's vaccinations will have no impact on her pregnancy. These vaccines are very safe, & do not cause any problems with puppies developing in utero. Take care.

Great question! K should be fine. Even though she was mated three days ago, it's still too soon to be sure that the mating was successful and she is pregnant. You will have to wait until at least three weeks after the mating in order to have her tested to see if she is pregnant. You do want her up to date on her vaccines before she has her litter, but I'd hold off on the rabies for now. Wait to see if that mating was successful or not, and if it wasn't, have her rabies vaccine done then. I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, I think it is fine to get her the Bordatella vaccine in 2 days. But if the vaccine isn't absolutely needed now (for boarding or grooming) I would just wait until the puppies are born and weaned. There is no issue vaccinating while they are in heat we just rather be conservative if pregnant but if she is it is VERY early. Good luck!

Depending on what boosters Ruby was given, some of these can be harmful to the fetus. Most vets will not give any vaccines to a pregnant animal regardless of the recommendations of the manufacturers. Of course this does not mean that every time a pregnant animals receives a vaccination they are guaranteed to abort. With respect to her pregnancy, it sounds like if she is pregnant she would be very early along making it extremely difficult to detect positively. The best methods of detecting pregnancy early along are with ultrasound, but I have a feeling even with this method you still may be a couple of weeks out before this becomes an available method of diagnosis. To my knowledge, acting fearful is not a sign of miscarriage so I can not speak to the correlation between the two. I would bring her into the veterinarian in a a couple of weeks to see if they can shed some light on things for you and Ruby.

HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! She should have all her vaccines and be dewormed prior to getting pregnant. Things to think about are if Virguie's breed has any trouble giving birth naturally so you can be financially prepared for a surgical C-section. Record all breeding dates accurately. Discuss measuring Progesterone levels with your Vet to time breeding. Look in to whelping boxes and watch videos on whelping so you can help during birth with removing the placentas from the puppies faces and tying umbilical chords. Purchase a bulb syringe to remove mucous from the puppies noses. Virguie should be fed puppy food while pregnant and while nursing. At day 50 pregnant have your Vet take an X-ray of her bally to estimate the number of puppies to expect. Start measuring Virguie's rectal temperature daily around day 58 pregnant to watch for a temperature drop that indicates the start of labor. Always keep your Vet prepared so they can assist you if you have problems. Be prepared to financially deworm and vaccinate the puppies when they need it and to take care of any unexpected illnesses in the mother and with the puppies. I hope this helps!
