So - whereas it's not a good thing that she got two so close together - they don't think there will be any adverse effects on her down the road.

I don't know if I "buy" that or not, but I understand that you can't "unring the bell", and what was done was done. All I can do is hope for the best.

Here is the link to the new vet I'm considering: www.pethealing.org Wha'cha think?

I know some state laws require giving the rabies at 4 months old but I would hope the vet works with me and my next Yorkie pup and waits til 6 months. It is better for tiny dogs.
