I have to bring her back in two-weeks for more shots, which I contacted another vets office and they said, do not bring her in for more shots in two weeks. There is no reason for more shots if she had these shots already. Is he trying to make unnecessary money off me? I am so confused and upset at the whole situation. I am going to be changing vets.

Some vets do give four sets but they would give them at maybe 6, 9, 12 and 16 weeks. Two weeks apart is not far enough apart in my opinion. Three shots is the maximum needed but because of maternal antibody interference (and more potential for side effects), those three sets shouldn't be started so young...
