| dhlpp shot is it necessary?? very concerned! Ok so i know its good to get a dhlpp for you puppy at one year. Osiris will be 1 in a few days:] My vet told me to come and get the booster shot when he turned one , so i call them today and they tell me a different story and said that he can wait and get it when he gets his second rabies shot in October. He will be a year and a half then so that does not make sense to me. Doing research i have read that your give them a booster when they first turn a year old that wait three years for each next one? How does this work is it every year or is it every three after the first? Also is it really necessary to give Osiris a rabies shot once a year? Im confused the Breeder the sold me Osiris stated that he would only need one booster shot and then i am done but thats not what the vets are telling me. I am concerned and i dont want to give him two more shots a year if its going to hurt him, im heard stories that its not needed, but the vets tell me that it is please help. |

| Have you read the vaccine thread in the YT library? For DHPP (careful with the L part of this...), it does need to be given at one year (and then decide your schedule from there). It could be given one year from the last puppy DHPP though. Rabies and DHPP should not be given in the same day, esp. to a small dog. Rabies varies by state and/or county. After the one year booster, it wiill likely be every three years for you.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I would not give a combination vacinne which contained lepto. Unless lepto is a concern where you live...I wouldn't give it at all.

You can give the DHPP yourself, but I'm not recommending that. If you can't tell your vet that you won't have them done on the same day, then it's time for a new vet. Whether they agree with you or not, you are the boss... After te one year booster for DHPP, he will need it every year if you go the traditional route (not recommended), every three years if you go the AAHA route (not a bad schedule), only upon low titer if you go by Dr. Dodds (another good option), or every 7-9 years or never again if you follow the newest research (would be very hesitant to recommend this).

| You can give the DHPP alone. When you see and H or an A, it stand for hepatitis/edenovirus. These are under the same initial in the vaccine title, but are considered 2, not 1, parts. The 7 in 1 would be: Distemper Hepatitis/Adenovirus Lepto Parvo Parainfluenza Corona

| Did you see my post in your other thread? With the link to Dr. Dodd's vaccination protocol? Lepto and corona are not core vaccines and are not recommended by Dr. Dodd's. Giving vaccines yourself should not replace a yearly physical by your vet. |

| Please don't blindly just go in and vaccinate. Educate yourself. Read Dr. Dodds protocol. Ask your vet how many cases of lepto or corona he has treated. There have been some very good studies on overvaccinating and duration of immunity. Some studies are showing LIFETIME IMMUNITY after the puppy series. Duration of Immunity Vaccines are very hard on a dog's immune system. They have been linked to everything from allergies to epilepsy. There is NO reason to give yearly vaccinations. Did you realize that the same vaccine is given to a 2 pound dog that is given to a 150 pound mastiff? Does that make sense to you? I would never give a combo vaccine and rabies in the same visit. These shots should be separated by at least 2 weeks. Read Ellie Mays post again. Excellent information there!

| dhlpp shot is it necessary?? very concerned This has Dr. Jean Dodds vaccination protocol in a very easy to read format. http://www.weim.net/emberweims/Vaccine.html Also it is my uderstanding that corona is a disease only puppies can get so why vaccinate adult dogs for it. And I have also read not to give rabies vaccine on the same day as other vaccines which I believe previous poster also mentioned. |

| My vet does not give any combo vaccines and gives each vaccine a week or 2 apart depending on the vaccine being given. I did not get the Lepto shots for my guys. Said no when offered.

| Vaccination for Lepto is not recommended for any small breed dogs and many large breed dogs because of the reported incidences of severe, acute reaction to that vaccine, including death. Any small animal vet knows this and if your vet is insisting that your dog get this vaccine, I would change vets immediately. All your pup needs is the DHPP- and Rabies (required by state) nothing else. Do not let your vet talk you into getting any other vaccines, they are all way too new and most people I know who have tried them, their dogs have had bad reactions to them. (dental vac, flu vac, Giardia vac...) Do not allow your vet to give the DHPP and Rabies during the same visit. Vaccines challenge a pup's immune system, and Yorkies' systems can get overloaded when this is done. I get my pups vaccines a month apart. They get the DHPP at one visit (one injection) and a month later I take them back in for their Rabies. They all do fine on this schedule. Should one have a problem with the combo in one day, I would further break it down until the pup could tolerate it well. The DHPP is a 5 in 1 combo. The 7in1 combos contain Lepto and Corona. I do not give Corona to my pups either. Even if your pup has had one Lepto vac and had no problem with it, many times it's the second booster that can trigger the bad reaction. I don't give vaccines at home because I do not have the drugs/facilities to treat them if they do have a bad reaction to the vaccines. It is not worth risking my dogs lives. Ask your vet (or the new vet) what they recommend for your area... then explain what you want and don't want. You are the consumer/customer, the vet works for you, and needs to make you happy. If a vet is not willing to work with you on these issues, I would pick up my pup and walk right out of the office, never to be seen again!
