Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are no specific do's and don'ts specifically other than making sure to continue the vaccination and deworming protocol as specified and recommended by your veterinarian. Keep in mind that he may be a bit sore at the vaccination site for 24-48 hours. Other than that, you are all set. Have a great day!
