I agree, get a titer test done. If the dog was vaccinated last year, you may not need the vaccines this year. If you do, then I would definitely NOT give them all at once. I would spread them out over a series of weeks.
A lot of vets are doing the titer tests and only vaccinating when need be, just as rabies is once every 3 years. If you give all of the vaccines at one time and there is a reaction, you have no idea which one of those vaccines caused the reaction.

our Ollie had HGE and it was horrible, he had to be at the vet's for 2 days getting iv fluids. I'm not sure if he had shots before that or not, I'll have to look it up. I'm very cautious about vaccinations. I know that titers are expensive, but the less vaccines the better.

would have a titer test done....i would not risk any kind of reaction,,,,yearly shots are a money maker for vets their useless....get a titer done this a blood test....if you feel shots are necessary split them up....giving all that in one dose for any breed of dog is out of line....if your vet does not understand find another one who up to date with vaccine protocal....

I'm in Canada and I go to a holistic vet. She doesn't give "yearly shots" as most vets do. She stated to me;

Unless your dog is going to be in the back country with wild animals it's not something I would give.

She does yearly tests for heartworm etc. but Teela only had one set of shots as a pup and I think it was for Parvo/distemper...that's it.

Perhaps seek a holistic vet in your area.

And not caused by vaccines. At least I have never heard of it.

which could give him the symptoms of parvo.

I would suggest you get his titers done to see if he needs the vaccine..Also many vets now believe just like human children that after a certain age they no longer need to vaccines.
