DAPP ("5-in-1")

Service Description

This combination vaccine protects against Distemper Virus, Parvovirus, Adenovirus-2, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza. The earliest a DAPP vaccination can be given is at 6 weeks of age. A booster vaccination should then be administered every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks of age. Puppies receiving their first vaccination between 16-20 weeks are recommended to have at least 1 additional booster vaccination. Dogs greater than 6 months of age when receiving their initial dose only require a single vaccination. After the initial series, booster vaccinations are given every year or every 3 years depending on their risk assessment and boarding/grooming requirements. About: The most common disease out of the combination is parvovirus. It is transmitted via fecal-oral route and can be fatal in severe cases. It mainly attacks the immune and gastrointestinal system resulting sepsis, dehydration, and shock. The most common signs are lethargy, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and vomiting. Treatment consists of stopping the vomiting and diarrhea, re-hydration, antibiotics (possibly antivirals) and providing adequate nutrition. For best results, pets are usually hospitalized for a minimum of 3-5 days. Prognosis is usually good if pet shows positive signs of recovery after the 3-5 days.
