As most yorkies are much smaller than that, and many have reactions when given more than one vaccine at a time, I personally would be very hesitant to vaccinate in this manner - particularly if your pup was to have a reaction and they don't offer any follow-up.
Absolutely! I couldn't agree more!! My vet normally presses down on the vaccine first and lets a good bit of the dosage come out of the needle before giving it to Jewelina because she is so small. We also have to wait 30 minutes before leaving after he administers any shot in case there is any kind of reaction. I personally would never trust stores or anyone other than my vet to give vaccines to my babies.
