Hi there,
I am new to this site but already finding it soooo informative. I think its going to be quite addictive!
I have a 13 week old cocker spaniel named Polly.
I have two daughters and a hubby and we've never owned a dog before but had thought about having one for quite a while. I really have no idea why we chose a cocker spaniel but we have so made the right decision.
We have had her for two weeks and she has settled in really well. We haven't been able to take her out yet, she is having her second injection on Monday. Do we have to wait the whole week after the 2nd injection before we can take her out?
I feel I have learnt so much already from this site :D

Hi welcome to the forum :D
Love the name Polly :luv:
Do we have to wait the whole week after the 2nd injection before we can take her out?
See what your vet says, they will probably tell you to wait a week ( or maybe even two weeks) but i know of some people who don't wait, they prefer to get their pup out and about being socialised, but i guess that's a risk you'd have to weigh up.
I was told to wait 2 weeks, but next time I'll probably only wait one week.
:D

Hi and welcome, we are owned by Jasper 2 yrs 3mth and Louie who is 16 months.
We were taking Louie out with us from the time he arrived but didn't put him down for walks until after his second jabs, don't think we waited too long as we thought that Jasper was going out for walks and since we don't disinfect their paws or body after every walk, taking Louie out was more important than risk. Everyone has their own thoughts ;)

Hello and welomce to you and Polly!
We have Poppy 21 weeks and currently flat out asleep after an exciting morning at Puppy class!
Bet you cant wait to get Polly out and about for walks. We just took the advice the Vet gave us but we did carry her around a lot prior to that to get her used to the noises and going in the car etc.

Welcome!
I have a 5.5 month blue roan cocker called Dave who's my second cocker and a 2.5 yr old Weimaraner called Storm. I did take my current current pup out after about 3 days after his second jab on an 'educated risk' he was ok... but it's best to listen to your vet's advice. Nothing to stop you popping her in a rucksack though and going out for a walk that way.. which is also what I did before his jabs and after when he couldn't walk very far!
