However they will most likely need chemo as well. |
I was talking to a lady the other day that has a maltese rescue and she said they are discovering that vaccinations given in the muscle of the rear leg is causing a lot of muscle atrophy and I also read about some cases of that. It is so frustrating when it comes to these vaccinations that no matter where they get the shot there are risks. We have always given the shots under the skin of the neck and we have never had any problems so far. I think the rabies shot is the one causing a lot of problems because it is given in the muscle of the rear leg.
