Lillie couldn't have hers because she needs her rabies and I didn't want to to get it unless I could be home to watch her incase of a reaction (I have a friend who's yorkie had a bad reaction to the rabies) small dogs shouldn't get the Lepto shot. I would discuss, with your vet, having a titer done the next time she is due for shots.
What is a titer? A blood test of some sort?

I always schedule her appts. on a Monday or a Tues., just in case she gets ill.
I do this even when I get her teeth cleaned. I live in a small town, and nobody is open on the weekends if Sadie gets ill.

Thanks, and I will ask about the Lepto shot. She is doing much better today.
