Hi Everyone!
My name is Dan, and I am a veterinarian. In this video I am going to walk you through how a veterinarian will vaccinate a dog. vaccines are given to dogs every few weeks when they are puppies. When a dog is an adult, vaccines are either given every year or every 2 to 3 years depending on the vaccine.
The core vaccines are Rabies and DA2PP or the distemper Parvo vaccine as most people refer to it as. These vaccines are given either once a year or every 2 to 3 years in the adult dog.
The vaccine we are giving today is the DA2PP vaccine. This vaccine has two bottles to draw from. Once the bottles have been mixed, the vaccine is ready. Changing the needle allows for a sharper needle to prevent any unneeded pain from the vaccine.
The skin should be tinted up with fingers to provide a little triangle of skin. The needle is then advanced into the fat or SQ. The needle should not advance into the muscle, because this will hurt and the vaccine is meant to be delivered into the fat.
Disclaimer: Always consult with your veterinarian regarding all your pet's medical needs. This video does not replace veterinary care.
