Our question this week was: The amount of time spent napping varies from dog to dog and depends on the dog's age and personality. Counting little naps and longer snoozes, most puppies sleep from 18 to 20 hours a day. As your puppy ages, he will sleep less. Adult dogs sleep about fourteen hours a day. The various breeds of dogs also seem to have different sleep requirements.
72 hours. If you have had a tetanus shot within the last 5 years, you should still get the puncture wound looked at. Iâm no doctor (or nurse practitioner) but I googled that question last night and found no solid answer. However, I did find out the answer in the ER last night so Iâm posting about it today.
The tetanus vaccine must be repeated every 10 years. If, however, you step on a rusty nail or get scratched by a rusty piece of metal (common sources of tetanus) and it has been less than 10 years but more than 5 years since your last shot, you should go ahead and get another.
