Not all vaccines are the same

Different vaccines provide different levels of protection against disease. Vaccines that protect against multiple diseases at the same time are called combined vaccines. The picture above shows the commonly used combined vaccines.

Canine distemper: Long course of disease and high mortality. Once purebred dogs become sick, the mortality rate is as high as 80%. It is one of the diseases that all dogs must be immunized against.

Parvovirus: A severe infectious disease that is more contagious than canine distemper, but has a lower mortality rate than canine distemper.

Coronavirus: It is extremely contagious and almost impossible to protect against through isolation. But it is not dangerous and the mortality rate is very low. Because the disease is so contagious, the vaccines are all inactivated vaccines, which although safe, offer poor protection. It's just that after getting sick, it's easier to cure.

Adenovirus: Divided into type 1 and type 2. Type 1 causes infectious hepatitis, and type 2 is an infectious respiratory disease, commonly known as kennel cough (kennel cough is just a symptom, and adenovirus type 2 is one of the causes. Not all kennel coughs are is caused by adenovirus type 2).

Leptospira: A zoonotic disease that is dangerous to both humans and dogs. Leptospira is very deadly to dogs and is also a very harmful disease to humans. There are many types of Leptospires. General vaccines can only protect against canine Leptospira and jaundice-hemorrhagic Leptospira.

Parinfluenza: Respiratory tract infection with low risk of death. It may also cause acute encephalomyelitis and hydrocephalus.

Generally, canine distemper and parvovirus are the two most harmful diseases to dogs. Immunization is also necessary, and other diseases can be selected according to local conditions.

In addition to combined vaccines, there are many single vaccines that only target certain diseases.

All brands of rabies vaccines are single vaccines. Therefore, after using the combined vaccine, don’t forget to take the rabies single vaccine. Theoretically, it is recommended to use a single vaccine of the same brand as Lian Miao.

Weijiaxi is a specialized parvovirus single vaccine.

Congbiwei Luobituo is a single vaccine specifically against Leptospira.
