Whether foxes or other pets, they all need to be vaccinated to prevent diseases, but when vaccinating foxes, what should we pay attention to, whether it is compatible with dogs Dogs vaccinated?

What

Red Fox

1. The body of the fox: When the vaccine is injected, the fox must be healthy and disease-free, with good nutritional status and good quality, and adapted to the environmental conditions at that time (emergency vaccination except).

2. Age factor: Young foxes are inhibited by maternal antibodies passively obtained from their mothers, although their antibodies have been formed, but not yet perfected; the immunity of old foxes function is gradually declining. Therefore, vaccination should be carried out 1 week after weaning of young foxes or in strict accordance with the instructions for use of the vaccine. Premature inoculation of maternal antibodies (surviving within 2 weeks after litter weaning) will interfere with attenuated vaccines and inhibit the production of active immune antibodies; if inoculated too late, the immune effect will decline or disappear.

3. Influence of incubation period or other diseases: The fox is in the incubation period of a certain infectious disease, and bacteria or viruses already exist in the body. At this time, the injection of attenuated vaccine can promote the infectious disease occurrence or affect the immune effect.

4. Fox immune negative period: When the vaccine is first injected, it needs to go through a certain incubation period to form antibodies. When the vaccine is injected again, the residual antibodies in the body quickly combine with the newly introduced antigen, but the original antibody level decreases, that is, a short negative period occurs. At this time, the fox body is in a special susceptible period. Therefore, when injecting vaccines, we should seize the opportunity to avoid this immune-negative period.

5. The problem of the vaccine itself: The vaccine market is chaotic, and you should find a reputable manufacturer when buying a vaccine. When injecting vaccines, it is necessary to strictly follow the regulations of the vaccine instructions. If the injection amount is too small, the immune effect will not be achieved. If the injection amount is too large, the formation of antibodies will be inhibited, that is, immune paralysis. Some vaccines have side effects after injection. For such problems, please consult the manufacturer or relevant experts in time. Serotype differences Some infectious diseases have many serotypes. If the serotype corresponding to the local circulating strain is not selected for the injection vaccine, the immunization will fail.
