My unvaccinated 7-week-old puppy met another dog. Is he safe?

Question

Our 7 week old, unvaccinated puppy just came in contact with another dog, will they both be okay? (We have an appointment to get him vaccinated in a few days). Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | neutered | 1 month and 23 days old

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

If the other dog was current on vaccines, there is likely no cause for concern. If both dogs were not showing any signs of illness, that is additional reason to not worry. You can monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, nasal discharge or difficulty breathing in the coming days. The veterinarian will perform a complete exam to confirm good health prior to vaccination.
