Hi ive got a 9month old red nose pit. Her mom was a full blooded red nose n her dad was a full blooded blue pit. We got her when she was 3 months old n the person we got her from gave her, her 1st set of shots n I was supposed to give her the other 1s n time got away from me n im wanting to get her up to date with them but now I'm scared it could hurt her n get the Provo disease from the shot. Or if she doesn't get shot then she can from another animal. So u see I'm a mess and need to know

Don't worry. Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian for an exam and vaccines. Or you can go to the next scheduled vaccine clinic at the nearby Petco. Khloe will likely need 2-3 boosters given 4 weeks apart. Afterwards, the vaccine will be given yearly. There is very little chance she will contract parvovirus from the vaccine itself. She will also need a rabies vaccine if she never had one. https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/
