You should start as if she was a puppy, she will need a full vaccination course (2-3 vaccinations 4 weeks apart). you should also get her dewormed and treated for fleas. make an apointment with your local vet in order to start the process ASAP.

The vaccine at four weeks of age does not count. A four week old puppy is too young to be vaccinated, it will not work. A puppy should not get their first vaccine until six to eight weeks of age. Magnolia Grace should start her vaccine schedule now. You can give her another liquid dewormer now too.

Yes, go ahead and vaccinate her. She will need another booster in 3-4 weeks, then one yearly. She will need a rabies vaccination at 4 months also and that will need to be given by a veterinarian. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Linda.

If Stela is fully vaccinated then she should be protecting her Puppies with the antibodies in her milk until they start weaning, in which case they should start vaccinations at 8 weeks of age. If she is not vaccinated then yes, I would start the vaccination series soon. I would also encourage you to reach out to your local veterinarian for the current recommendations on other types of vaccinations besides parvovirus that should be given in your area. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
