| 1 ml or 1/2 ml for a vaccine amt?? My breeder told me to give my puppy 1/2 ml of her vaccine. I just want insight from other breeders on how much of an ml they give (bordetella and the 5 in 1). Thanks! |

| depending on the vile size, i am sure you would give them the whole vile. is it the dry and wet that you mix. also, i am not sure if you should do it if you have never done it or have not had a mentor to show you how. you can hurt the puppy if you do not know what you are doing (of course, i am assuming you don't since you are asking the question)

| Ours come in individual syringes. One per puppy and that is what we give since it is the recommended dose. |

| To be honest, I have never given the shots myself, yet but always make sure the vet only gives 1/2 the dose. I have heard many horror stories. I was told when researching Yorkies a long time ago that many smaller breeds have reactions to the full vile of various vaccinations and that half the "normal" vaccine is what should be given to our little babies. I was also told by a vet hospital that some vets give full vacine and they have had "emergency" visits with small breed puppies because of being over vaccinated and sometimes they even "just die". I am not vouching for the accuracy of what they said but I would not take any chances and always get my Yorkies only 1/2 the vaccine. JMHO-

| Most 5 in 1 vaccines contain Lepto and many yorkies react badly (even fatally) to that particular vaccine. I strongly suggest you use one without. DAPP is fine.
