He also said that petland will take care of the bills.

Things seem to be looking up for Fitzgerald, but like you said sympa, I hope they aren't using the vaccine reaction as an excuse not to replace the dog if he ends up dying.

It is good that you are sceptical and you should be, this is your baby we are talking about. You are a good parent for doing so.
I just have to wonder if by some shread of humanity the pet store requires this vet bc they are good or the best they have found. It would be a question I would personaly entertain, if you were looking for an opinion. I hope for your babies sake that is the fact! You guys are in my prayers!
