Vaccination on same day as neuter?

My vet says it is ok to do a vaccination on the same day as a neuter as long as its after the op (if i heard correctly!)

If you dont agree with this, how soon after the neuter can the vacc be given?

(Audrey just needs VHD now, and it would be easier to get it done today, or at the check up in a couple of days because the vets is quite a distance.)
 
a vaccine shoudl NOT be done on th esame day as a neuter and shoudl wait at least two weeks before doing it and two week between vaccines so the immune system is NOT compromised otherwise it will NOT take effect!

I would leave at least a week - it's likely to be ineffective if the animal is unwell or had any other kind of procedure, as it requires a good immune response to be effective. A bun which has just been neutered will be busy repairing and fighting off any infection from the wound so the vaccine probably won't generate enough immune response to work.
 
thank you, i just called up to say not to and the receptionisit spoke to the vet, who said they wouldnt have done it anyway...
 
Yeah I def agree, at work we don't give a vaccination during the 5 days before or after an op as it won't be as effective.
