| Do you guys think it's ok?? I have made an appointment with the vet to get Coco's Rabies and Distemper shots. Do you think it's ok to have those done in one appointment? When I first had them done she was only 1 lbs so we broke them out within a week but she didn't have a reaction to either one. She's now over 1 year and full grown at 4 lbs and a few ounces. Is it ok to have both vaccines at the same visit?

| What a little trooper!!! Yea Coco did so well for her first vaccinations and she was only 1 lbs. So I just hope having them in one day doesn't give her the runs or vomitting.

| My vet told me it was better to give the shots at different times with such a small dog. |

| I just did this to Hallie and I wish I hadn't. She was so lethargic and didn't eat for 2 days and sh'es 6 pounds. I would break them up just to be safe. |

| All of my life we've given them at separate times. My vet wouldn't give them all at once, either. I wouldn't do it. It's not worth the risk. Every little dog reacts differently. You can't foresee problems, so why create conditions for them?

| I would separate them just to be on the safe side. Sissy is 4 lbs and the vet said that is how her annual shots would be handled. All her puppy shots were given at separate visits.

| So I went in today and they said they think it's better to spread them out. They had forgotten how tiny shereally is even though she's almost 5 lbs. So we got the rabies today and we'll get the Distemper next friday we wanted to be on the safe side

| That's great that they are looking out for her best interest too! My bf's parents took their yorkie to get his 4 year shots, rabies, distemper and one more, he was out of it for almost a week. I felt so bad for him. |

| I would never give two shots at once. I like the rabies and booster spaced 3 weeks a part to give their immune system time to recover from the first vaccine. They are just too little to overload their immune system with two vaccines. |

| ok now I'm Psd off! I took Paris in today and they gave her both shots at once even though I kept insisting I thought they should be spread out. The vet (a new one that was recommended to me) acted like I was off my rocker for asking him to spread them out. If anything goes wrong I'm gonna smack that man.
