| Yearly stuff scheduling How would yall go about this Callie is due for blood work 7/23, then Lyme 8/28, then Wellness check up, fecal, Boratella and Lepto 9/13. Would you wait a little longer on the blood work and try and do the blood work, fecal, wellness visit, fecal and Lyme together then go back later for her other two vaccines? I don't want to argue about Vaccines just want some opinions on how you would schedule them. I feel I need to protect Callie from what I can even if the vaccines do protect against EVERY strand some is better then none. I don't feel vaccines are the problems with dogs because the two dogs I grew up with that we had sense puppies had only gotten there puppy shots no other shot and both ended up with cancer. I get Lepto because we had a goat die or Lepto and I have talk with my vet at length about it a few time and feel it is nessisarily and she has never had a reaction before. I get Bordatella because I like talking her to dog events and don't want to risk kennel cough when it can last a month and lead to worse infections and she has never had a reaction. Lyme aim still up in the air about because sense we moved I am trying to see how bad the ticks are here and if it turns out not bad at all I may not get that one but at this time I am still planing for it. Callie is 6 and 16 pounds give or take. The only reactions she does have is soreness, sleepiness and grumpyness.

| Taylor I usually take both of mine in together and they get yearly exams and bloodwork at the same time. They get their vaccine booster I then wait two weeks and take them back for rabies which is require by law here annually. Then I go back two weeks after that for lepto. We have had cattle die from lepto here and they also get lepto vaccine now. It's bad in our area. So I also always get them vaccinated for lepto.

| I would just do bloodwork + lyme on one day. Then do check up, fecal, bordatella and lepto another. Or just do all at once on one day in mid-August or so. You said she's never had a reaction before, so might as well just get it over with all at once.

| I would do check up, blood work, fecal, and vaccines at the same time. Then in 2-4 weeks the Lymes- I always give it separate from other vaccines.

| I'd do wellness, blood, fecal, bordatella and lyme in August, then return in two weeks for lepto.

| I'd do what Cathy said. The exam, blood, and fecal should be done on the same day because 1) it makes it so much easier to schedule yearlies, and 2) if vet sends to an outside lab getting more than one thing at once sometimes ends up costing less. If you are looking to be very thorough, add on a u/a. I'd do Lyme or Lyme and bordatella that day and lepto or lepto and bordatella a couple weeks later. The only bordatella I would consider is injectile (assuming the first was given intranasally). Alternatively, you could give them all at once. It may not make that much difference. It doesn't matter what we think about the vaccines you give. It only matters what you, your vet, the AAHA, and veterinary immunoloists think.

| I would split the vaccines if it was me. Rosie did fine for years then one time she had a reaction. So it's better to be safe then sorry. We don't do lepto here just because the vet said it wasn't necessary as it isn't a problem where I'm at. I think it's ok to do the wellness, blood, and fecal in one visit.
