kymbo Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Does anyone know if the actual amount in the syringe is the same dose regardless of breed? Eg, would my 5 kg Papillon get the same amount of C3 as my daughters 25 kg kelpie x? It is just something that I have been wondering about after reading a few articles. My pup is due for his 1 year needle very shortly. I have read heaps about immunity and titre testing, but have found nothing about the quantity of vaccine TIA kym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 1ml is the dose for all. Even Dr Jean Dodds couldn't get a straight answer from the Vaccine companies on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paganman Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I think I read on dogz a while back that all dogs get the same dose whatever size they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappie Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Yes its the same volume regardless of size. Each vial of vaccine contains sufficient viral particles to invoke an adequate immune response in the average dog. The 1ml part of the equation I gather is fairly abitrary - big enough to prevent unneccessary tissue irritation as well as resuspending the particles, in a small enough volume to inject easily.
