Vaccinating dogs is something every dog owner has to do, but is it possible that everyone should test their dogs for antibodies after three vaccinations? How long does it take to test the dog’s antibodies after the third injection? Next, let us find out how long it takes for dogs to be tested for antibodies after three injections~
After three injections, dogs should be tested for antibodies. Testing for antibodies is to check the effectiveness of the vaccine and the dog's defense status against infectious diseases. If the dog's antibody levels are relatively high, the vaccine will work well. Dogs have very high protection against viruses and the probability of contracting infectious diseases is very low. However, if the antibody level is relatively low, it means that the vaccine immunity has failed, and it is necessary to re-inject the vaccine to improve the antibody level.
Generally, after a vaccine is injected, the body needs to be stimulated by the vaccine, and antibodies will be produced after a period of time, about half a month. However, the function of the first antibody is maintained in the body for a very short time, and the amount of antigen is very small, so it has no impact on infectious diseases. And if it cannot protect you, one vaccination is definitely not enough.
During the second vaccination, a large number of antibodies are rapidly produced in the body, which is several times that of the first vaccination, and they stay in the body for a very long time. If it is more than half a month after the second vaccination, the third vaccination can be given. At this time, the number of antibodies produced by the body will increase dozens of times based on the second vaccination, giving the dog's body the ability to resist infectious diseases. This antibody can last for a year.
Pets will recommend that your dog be vaccinated three times. Don’t feel like they are deceiving you. This is because biological immunity requires repeated stimulation to achieve lymphocyte memory. When the vaccine is injected for the first time, only a small amount of antibodies can be produced in the body and the duration is short. Repeated stimulation is required within a reasonable period of time to produce more antibodies in the body to maintain long-term effects.
The above are all the reasons why dogs should be tested for antibodies after three injections~ I hope it can help everyone.
