My 8-week puppy moved during parvo shot. Should I re-vaccinate?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 28 days old | 1lb

While giving our 8 week old puppy ( mini poodle-chihuahua) she moves and we believe she only received half of the parvo shot maybe less, what should we do?

Hello, and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Given the risk of an 8-week-old pup being insufficiently vaccinated, if you feel she got half the dose or less, I would recommend you repeat the dose so you can be sure she is vaccinated. This scenario is part of why I recommend vaccines be given by a veterinary professional. Hope this helps!
