VACCINES/IMMUNITY
PLEASE BE AWARE that a puppy is NOT immune until after the 15wk shot, until that time they are building their own immune system.
Please do NOT take them to DOG PARKS, or public areas with a lot of dogs.
PET STORES (that allow dogs inside) or buy items that are not wrapped from pet stores that allow dogs in, and if in a store or allows a lot of dogs in, take off & wash your shoes when you get home- see below.
VET OFFICES - must be in a carrier - do not let them walk on the floor or in the area directly outside the vet clinic.. this is generally where the "sick" dogs are asked to wait.. take off your shoes prior to coming back into your house and rinse soles & bottom of carrier with 10% bleach solution - as a precaution.. I was in the vet office when someone brought in a lethargic dog and they refused to leave the waiting room - said their dog had flea anemia, and ignored the signs and the requests of reception staff. their puppy tested positive for parvo. The germs were all over the waiting area, floor, & down the hall where they carried the dog.. know a breeder that came home from the vets and took off her shoes, her puppies started chewing/carrying her shoes and 1wk later had parvo.. may be just a one in a million chance you "follow" that dog down the hall, but its a risk.
AUSSIE DRUG SENSITIVITY
http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/depts%2DVCPL/
See the above link for detailed information,
multi-drug
sensitivity in AUSSIES. The problem is due to a mutation in the multi-drug
resistance gene (MDR1). This gene encodes a protein, P-glycoprotein, that is
responsible for pumping many drugs and other toxins out of the brain. Dogs with
the mutant gene can not pump some drugs out of the brain as a normal dog would,
which may result in abnormal neurologic signs. The result may be an illness
requiring an extended hospital stay--or even death.
PUppies can be tested to determine if they carry this "mutation".. but why take
the chance.. ??
PLEASE TAKE THIS LIST INTO YOUR VET FOR YOUR PUPPIES FILE-

Drugs that have been documented, or are strongly suspected to cause problems in
dogs with the MDR1 mutation:

Problem Drugs
The following drugs may potentially cause problems when given to dogs that have
the mutation. Biochemical studies have shown that this gene has the potential to
act on over 50 different drugs.
