Vaccinating a Puppy Who Has Loose Stool?

My 9 week old puppy has been healthy w/o issues. He has had loose stools the last 2 days. He is eating, drinking, and peeing normally. Can I give him his 2nd 5Way vaccine or should I wait until his stool is normal. If I wait, will it screw his vaccine up with it being a few days late?

There are several shots/vaccinations that are safe to give to dogs after they complete their one year round of health care but maybe not the first year as the vet needs to examine the puppy during each visit to make sure they are healthy in all respects.
The first year is so important - especially with Parvo so prevalent everywhere.
I know that vet visits are expensive but this is a precious pup's future health we're discussing so please try to make a way to make visits possible.

A few days 'off' the schedule may not be a problem but be sure you tell the vet everything about the puppy's behavior.

Here is a great information site: (dumb title but good site)

Normally you should take the dog to the vet for the vaccinations. They have to check the health of the animal before giving them their vaccines. I would recommend that you do this before giving the dog his second vaccine. I only recommend doing this once the dog is older to give them the vaccines on your own. As a puppy there are many things that need to be taken into consideration before the dog is vaccinated.

This should be answered by a professional (Vet). This is a puppy and you would want to be very careful with your choice on his health. Animals are the voiceless, Be careful with him!

give it a few more weeks for him to have more solid stools. Sometimes a new puppy needs to get readjusted to new foods and new environments.
