Title: Nursing pups Post by: southtexasff on April 04, 2012, 08:37:18 pm Will pups that continue nursing after recieving their first shots lose the effects of the shot from the antibiotics in the mother's milk? I heard this once and it seemed to make sense. I had a pup from a previous litter that looked like it was getting the first signs of parvo, I placed the pup with the mother and it began nursing from her. The pup got healthy again, ended up loosing the whole litter from parvo though. If I am in no rush to hunt the mother how long should I let the pups nurse before giving them their shots?
