Hi,

Just looking for some advice really, I’m 12+6 with my first baby and yesterday myself and my husband went around to our friends, after being there a couple of hours and fussing their dogs they told us that the dogs had just had their vaccines and kennel cough that day (they didn’t know I was pregnant at this point), after telling them they told us that I shouldn’t be around newly vaccinated dogs and now I’m worried, has anyone any advice or experience with this at all?

Thanks!

I'm nearly positive avoiding newly vaccinated dogs while pregnant isn't a thing. Please don't worry.

First time I hear about this.

Hi OP, I work in a veterinary surgery and was pregnant with both of my children whilst working there. A vet is also currently pregnant. The only thing she cannot do in regards to vaccines is the kennel cough, as it's a "squirt up the nose" but she then goes straight in to see them afterwards. Don't worry yourself too much! :)

Hi Thanks so much to you all!

It was the kennel cough I was worried about especially as the only thing on google was to stay away from dogs for 6 weeks! Thanks so so much for the reassurance! Smile
