Riley is not quite finished with her vaccinations. She should receive vaccinations every 3 weeks up to 16-20 weeks of age. If you want a wellness check, contact your local veterinarian and set up a wellness examination. I would still bring a fecal sample in to check for parasites to ensure the deworming was effective. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
