What happens when a Teddy puppy gets vaccinated?
Teddy dogs need vaccines against common canine diseases like distemper, parvovirus, and rabies, which build immunity and prevent spread. Puppies may have mild discomfort — fever, poor appetite, lethargy — that fades in days. After vaccination, rest, keep warm, avoid overexertion and contact with other dogs to prevent infection.

Dogs showing any sign of illness—such as a runny nose, sneezing, vomiting, or diarrhea—should not be vaccinated, because live-attenuated vaccines can worsen an existing condition.

After vaccination, observe the dog for 30 minutes, avoid baths for 7 days, and confirm immunity with an antibody test around 15 days later.
