This week on Genome Barks, we welcome Dr. Richard Goldstein, a faculty member at Cornell University with a specialty in genetic and infectious diseases of the kidney.  Recorded at the August Breeders’ Symposium held in Syracuse, New York, Dr. Goldstein discusses vaccination protocols, including maternal antibodies in the puppy, timing of vaccinations (both in the puppy and in the dam), frequency of vaccine boosters and geriatric care.  Dr. Goldstein also explains the difference between “core” and “non-core” vaccines and other various elements of canine vaccinations.
