Is it safe to give a 7-way shot to a pregnant female?

Consult your vet on it but mine told me that it should of be takin care of before breeding. The shots cause or could cause a elevated temp/fever which could have a adverse effect on the developing brain in the pup. Nurturing what I was told, maybe someone else would know better

I give em' a shot about two weeks before they whelp ... never had problems and you can find vets that are for and against anything so they aint much help.

Give her some electrolytes or red cell a day before and for a few days after the shot to help boost her immune response and reduce stress ... same for pups when you give them shots.
