| Extra Parvo Shot??? Hello All! BeanSprout is off to the vet tomorrow. He is exactly 16 weeks,and he weighs 5.5 lbs. My breeder told me that he only needed Rabies b/c they had done all his other shots. My vet wanted to give him an extra "parvo" vaccine?! Is that unusual? The rationale was that the community that I live in has a higher than normal rate of parvo.... Can that hurt Beanie?? help please, I am scared! Jen |

| I have heard of situations where dogs are given the extra shot. I don't think there is any harm done. |

| When rocky was 18 weeks I took him to get an extra shot, he was around 5.2 lbs and he did fine. I was told by my vet that it will do no harm, I also did that because I waited a very long time before he got his second set of shots, and boy was I lucky he did not catch anything!! |

Maggie is 4 months old. She is scheduled for her rabies and kennel cough Monday. Then in August she is scheduled for a Parvo Booster. It is perfectly normal. One thing you don't want your baby to get, is Parvo. I have seen grown dogs, that had all their shots, still get Parvo. They survive with a lighter case, than the unfortunate ones that didn't get the Parvo shots. I would say, get it and be happy you did.
