What if I'm a few minutes late giving my puppy's parvo shot?

Question

I am giving my puppy shots for possibly Parvo..l am supposed to give him the shot at the EXACT time not a minute before or late for three days..l was STUPID yesterday and didn't look at the clock..we THINK it was around 7:05..will it hurt him to give him shot at 7:05? Please help me. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered

It's difficult for me to say for sure without knowing the medication in the shot you are giving, but I can't think of any shot that requires that amount of exactness in the timing. Usually shots meant for parvo patients have a margin of a few hours where it wouldn't be unsafe, or decrease the effectiveness of the treatment. If you think that you are less than an hour off, then I would not be concerned. However, again, I would have to see the medication to be sure of this. If you can post the question again with the exact medication name and/or a picture, I can give a more certain response. I hope that helps and all is well with Snowball.
