My pup will turn 12 week old and will be 3 months on 7th Oct. Till now he had 2 DHPPil, 2 corona & one kennal cough vaccinations and 2 deworming dose. His DHPP , kennel cough , corona , rabies and deworming are due in Oct again. Also Would Kennel cough vaccinations causes soft moving sudden lump on neck after 3 -4 days of vaccinations.? My vet said its alright and should wait for 3-4 days before getting alarmed. Can you advise if we are on right track.How many more are due.

DHPP vaccines should be given every 3-4 weeks until the last shot on or after the 16 week birthday. Rabies is only given once, typically around 12 weeks of age. I do not use the corona vaccine. Kennel cough is given once or twice depending on the manufacturer's guidelines. I deworm my puppies at each vaccination appointment and then annually. All vaccines should be boostered at 1 year of age. Any injection can cause a local reaction, it should not drain and it should not be painful. Other possible causes of a lump include abscess or an enlarged lymph node. You can have your vet check on this at the next appointment (or sooner if Oreo isn't feeling well).
