    There isn't anything wrong with her going outside. She will be fine. She might just be a little sore after the shots tomorrow, so just be careful around the injection site, and by all means take her outside tomorrow, it will help to work out any soreness that she might have. Hope this helps, good luck.

      As long as you have never had parvo in your yard. Be very careful when you take your puppy to the vet that you don't lie it down outside or inside on the floor. Parvo is a puppy sickness that can be deadly. I am a vet tech and parvo is going around real bad right now in N.C. I do not advise you to let your puppy walk around at pet smart or any dog parks until it has had all vac. At 16 weeks old. I have also been a pit bull breeder in the past and they are one of the hardest breeds to pull through parvo. As far as the shots your puppy should be fine, maybe a little sleepy and sore the day of but should be back to normal if even affected the very next day after its vacc.

      Puppies should not be taken to communal areas like parks, dog parks, etc. Until one week after their 12 week booster.  Parvovirus is a main concern for young puppies.  Do not take the puppy anywhere that you know has been exposed to parvo in the last 2 years.  It is a very strong virus and stays in the environment for a long time.  With supportive care started early on in the disease process most puppies make it.  There is not a breed related factor in the prognosis.  Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment lead to a better prognosis.
      Puppy vaccines start between 6-8 weeks old depending upon when the puppy is weaned or if there is a concern for infectious disease.  The boosters are every 3-4 weeks until the puppy is 16 weeks.  It is important that the last booster is at 16 weeks or later.  Until 16 weeks maternal antibodies can interfere with protection.
      Have fun playing with your puppy in the safety of your yard!

      I very much doubt it its perfectly normal to go for shots at this age i believe there are 2 shots the 2 been around 12 weeks ask the vet about this then after this your dog will need to learn to go for walks with you starting with short distances at first ,i remember walking my boxer dog as a pup and like pitbulls they are heavy i got so far then he just went to sleep on the pavement an i had to carry him home
