am i allowed to take my puppy outside? if not, what do i do? General Dog Discussions
My puppy chihuahua is almost 12 weeks old and has never been outside.The reason being, he hasn't gotten any of his shots!He hasn't gotten it because it turned out at 8 weeks he had a rare disorder (curable, thankfully) and he's been taking steroids for it. He's off it now, but the vet wants me to watch him for a week to see if hes really cured before he can get his shots.He is getting his first round of shots next Friday, if he doesn't show any signs of his disorder coming back. By then, can I take him outside? Like just to walk around the parking lot?He really has so much energy right now, and when hes excited he runs around the kitchen and my room in circles. He's a happy dog. He now sits by the window and smells the air. I just feel bad he can't go outside.I have to wait until the 3rd round of shots till he can go out right? He will be about 16-17 weeks by then, (4 months old), and will never have been outside! :(As for socialization, the vet said he wasn't allowed to see any other dogs because his steroids make his immune system weak etc etc. But i socialized him with people and he literally loves everyone.
